Poor Cold Start - What should I do?
I have a 318 ti 1995.
Engine light is on.
Car doesn't start well when it is very cold outside. Sometimes the engine stalls after I start the car and I suddently stop at a Stop Sign.
What should I start doing to help prevent this?

Scan the computer for the fault. Might be the AFM.

or scan for faults using the 5 gas pedal push trick.
Search the forum for checking OBD1 faults. I think Pelican has a DIY for that.
