I just bought this car, do they have problems with cold climate? I was wondering what kind of problems they have. I think that it was bought off auction though. Do you think it would have anything to do with deposits anywhere or clogged injectors? jakegday 01-08-2007, 12:35 PM it'd help if you could tell us a little bit more about your car, im assuming its a cavalier, what year and engine maybe? anyways, does it jump when you go to accelerate, does it quit doing it once the car is warmed up?? if thats the case thats not that uncommon, ive seen it happen plenty of times, usually to older cars or cars with high miles, just let it sit and warm up a few minutes before driving LPlanert 01-08-2007, 04:08 PM My Cavalier has no problims in cold weather, starts right up (well, unless the battery is dead, damn electrical problim), drives nice, adn never had problims in snow.. and I live in Wisconsin, so its cold alot here.. dylanger 01-10-2007, 03:05 AM its got high miles, and 96 sunfire i havent had time to check engine size, but i do know its a 4 cylinder. it only jumps when cold. after it jerks a little bit then its fine. it does a self-accelerate once in a while. homerr 01-10-2007, 10:02 AM My 2001 (2.2) Sunfire self-accelerates too, but does it on an even grade and when it is warm. Everyone driving with me tells me that it is missing. But looking at the tach shows an actual quick jump in acceleration.
