Hey wanted to give you a shout out...New to the forum, If it was cold out when you were having this problem then it sounds like the coolant temperature sensor. Mine wouldn't start all winter without giving it a little fuel and had to prop the pedal to let warm up, once it was warm it wouldn't do it. Now that it's warm out it hasn't done it so haven't messed with and hasn't had said symptoms but that's what I plan on replacing when I get around to it. Let me know if that helps yah any I'll help yah figure it out. Aaron
