I noticed that since it got colder outside, my car stalls in the morning / evening when I do a "cold start".
I turn the key in the ignition and the engine starts but suddently stops by itself, even if i'm still turning the key. I noticed that ever since i did my oil change for some 10W full syntec (my oil change is due - so i did 5000kms like that), the oil light on the dashboard stays on for a few secs. after I started the car as if oil pressure was low. Also, sometimes (usually when engine is cold or if i give a lot of gas), when i stop at a stop sign or red light and put it in neutral, the engine feels almost as if it was gonna stall (RPM goes REALLY low... let say 200-300RPM), but then it catches its normal idle (around 800RPM). Engine is at 197 000 kms so Timing belt / water pump are due at 200 000kms... I'm thinking it could be the head gasket... I'm about to sell her...
