In winter, if I start the car and dont let it run for 15min (minimum) before driving it. Sometime, the car dies when Im about to go. I know it's not good for the car to drive it when the engine is still cold but my case is not normal because sometime it does that even I waited like 10-15min. My battery is 1 year old (1000 ampere)...spark plugs are 6 month olds...dont have any 'Check Engine' light in the dash...I wonder if it can be the wiring (because I didnt changed it since I have my car). What do you guys think?
TIA for your help |

Have you checked your transmission fluid? It does go through the torque converter, ya know.. Otherthan that, you can always try popping off the vacuum tube to your IAC, so it idles at 1500RPMs..
