Afterstarting in cold environments car dies. Must hold the excelerater to keep it running. What is the problem? Can not rely on the Korean ford place they just rip you off, if you are a foreigner.

seems this is caused by the idle air control or mass air flow sensors. they probably need to be cleaned. if you do that, make sure not to touch the wires on the MAF sensor.

it could also be a bad coolant temp sensor. but from what I''ve been reading around the net, the first two are the best bet.
