I too am having cold weather problems with my car. I go out in the morning and pump the gas a couple times and it starts right up. I leave it idling for 10-15 minutes before I leave. The car runs fine for 20 min. down the freeway but when I come to a stop sign after getting off the freeway, it dies. I have to pump it a couple times to get it started again which tells me that its running lean. I figured that it should be to operating temp by the time it has been run that long. I adjusted my choke and put it on the richest setting and that didn't help. I thought it could be electrical so I replaced plugs, cap, rotor, wires, points, condensor, and coil and that didn't help either. When I start it up in the afternoon after school, it runs fine. Starting to wonder if I should rebuild the carb this weekend. Engine is a 302 by the way. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brandon
