Got a Olds from my Dad to drive. Car has been pretty good, but this winter notice that when it is cold, it will start o.k., but will stall out when you put it in gear. Condition continues, till it warms up, which can be 10 minutes. Won't seem to warm up that fast, so replaced the thermostat, seem to help some, but condition still their. Since then, replace the IAC, found it fouled up and dirty. Getting to engine lights. I have notice the idle speed is the same, even when cold. Growing up in cold parts of the country, all cars will idle higher when it is first started in the cold. What controls the idle when the car is cold? Condition reminds me of the days the choke was not working right. Tom
