I've noticed that my 1150 mile 2001 has acted very hesitant in cold weather. I commute about 2-1/2 miles and the engine seems to be acting more and more hesitant as the winter wears on. I live in Atlanta where November (November 2 delivery) and December have been the coldest in history (lots of sub 20 mornings) but January has been average (25 to 35 degrees in the am and 35 to 45 in the afternoon). I left for the airport today (Saturday) in 50 degrees and the engine warmed up quickly, in the first mile. Any suggestions? Will the 1200 mile service improve things? Should I warm the car up for several minutes before driving it?? Just wait for spring?
