So believe it or not, it's been a little chilly in Florida the past few days. By chilly I mean low to mid 40s. I know its snowing in other parts of the world but for FL, it's chilly! I started my car Monday, turned over just fine and then promptly the rpm's fell to 0 and it died. I tried again, same thing. I thought if i drive it some it'll warm up and be fine. It died 3 more times when the clutch was pushed if, so i had to keep my foot on the gas so it wouldn't die used my left foot to brake to get to work. after about 5-10 minutes of that it would run without dying. I'm thinking that the battery's ok, else it wouldn't have turned over at all correct? Anybody have an idea why a cold engine would die like that? I'm stumped.

FYI - OEM is the only way to go on that cap and rotor. The ones from parts houses are crap. Also the OEM ones dont cost much if any more [They're actually cheaper for me but I get a 30% discount from dealer]
