It is not strange for it to cause your problem. Since the battery was weak you probably had low voltage going to the spark plugs. It would be as if your plug wires were bad. A warm engine is more forgiving than a cold engine which is probably why you only noticed this when cold. -Joe Kuchan >From: "Daniel" <dmcburn75@xxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: [DML] Cold running problem and battery >Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2005 21:47:08 -0000 > >Dear group, > >I've posted here a few times about a cold running problem I would have >where the car would backfire slightly when first started and driven a >few hundred feet...Well four days ago my battery died(it was over 6yrs >old) I replaced the battery and since then I have not had a single >backfire or any other problems I encountered when cold.
