its getting pretty cold here in Texas (reletively) and my truck is really messing up lately. i will start it and get it running and it will idle alright. then when i get out on to the road, i will come to my first stop sign and the truck will idle at arund 500 but you can barley hear it and then it will try to die. i have to ride the brake to keep it alive. i have to do this for the first 10 min of driving. then i can get on the freeway with the heater going (and its hot) and it will still do this when i come to a stop. this will only go on for the first 10 min. i can also rev it to high hell and it will still do this. what is going on?
