? in my integra

[petea]

my ? is when i turn on my car i start to drive for a mile or less my car starts to stall for a minute and it goes away. you think i need to worm up my car a litlle more longer. i worm it up for atleast 3 to 6 min. and i live in new mexico the weather is not that cold.

i don't think WORMING your car up will fix the problem. thats not normal

lol well i dont think warming your car longer will help the problem but there isnt anything wrong with giving it minute or two. Maybe give your car a tune up, such as cap & rotor, spark plugs, maybe even a fuel filter. That should help.

There is no need to "warm up" your car beyond giving it time to get the oil cycled through it, which is only a few seconds. There is certainly something wrong.

Do this: Honda-Tech.com: Acura Integra: *** How-To*** Clean Your FITV aka Fast Idle Thermo Valve Could very well be your problem, and won't hurt anything at all if it isn't.
