why wouldnt my car start??

[cam98aro]

Ok, i let my car warm up for about 3 minutes (it was pretty cold out that say BTW) and i started going, really easy on the car. I stopped, and when i let the clutch out (like i always do) the car stalled out (I guess i let it out too fast, while not giving it enough gas or something) but anyways it stalled.

I kept trying to start it, but it didnt want to start up, this is rare, because my car starts VERY easy in all weather conditions, half the time i just tap the key, and the starter grinds because it is still disenaguging... anyways, it just wouldnt start, i left it cranking for like 3 seconds, and it wouldnt start. It took about 5 tries, then it finally started.

What is something that would cause this? I havent had any problems, and it has started up fine ever since... but i was wondering what could cause it acting up like that.

Id check your air and fuel filter. I have a dirt bike that used to do the same thing,,when the engine was cold it would start up and run great, but once hot it would not want to get going, once going would be ok, but would not what to get going. Turned out the air filter was very dirty and was chokeing it out.

brand new air, and fuel filter (well, they are 2 months old)

The problem acually happened when the engine was cold, not warm. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Did you get gas just before it happened at all?
