when i go to start it it wont start for 60 sec or so. It will putter a bit then die after about 30. As soon as i start it and it actually idles up, as soon as i touch the gas it dies again. It will do this until the car gets warm then it runs fine. Any help will be appriciated!
thanks

check your coolant temp sensor for the ecu out... probably a broken wire would be my guess..

my coolant light is on. But the wire is plugged in? where is it at on the ECU out?

do you have a manual of any sort? you can check to see if the sensor is bad... but it is very common for those wires to get hard and brittle, then they break. so i would check it out well... but like i said the temp sensor can go bad... so it might be worth checking that out...

i doubt it would be a problem at the ecu... unless you have been fidiling around down there..
