Ok so my 300m has been having this little problem lately. I live in MN where it gets very cold and my 300 has always started great until the other day when it would start and then idle at 500rpms and then die I have to stay on the gas until it warms up to leave it run??? so I put it in the heated garage and it still does the same thing, not always, but I can't figure it out there are no codes, I did have to replace the MAP sensor about 8000 miles ago but then it had an engine code on? my 300 has 89k on it and usually runs great any help would be appreciated!!! thanks

Does it throw off any codes? If so, check them out and let us know.

The only code that has been on is p0160 which means something with the o2 sensor

Yeah, I was the only one in my m it was a 99 stone white with black interior! It held up pretty good in the accident though!!! I walked away with only bruises and some minor things!!! If I could figure out how to put a pic onto this I would it is definitly a wreck, it pushed my Lh fender over a foot and a half into the engine bay and ripped my door clean off its hinges... So I am still waiting on the insurance, but in the meantime I went out and found an awesome 2002 Blue Sapphire Pearl 300M Special with the two tone interior!
