In freezing cold weather the engine would not maintain and idle. If you didn't press the gas peddle, the engine would rev all the way down to zero and quit. The solution was to keep applying a small amount of gas pedal, even when stopped to maintain idle. When the weather warmed up later the problem went away. It had this problem for a few days in cold weather even after driving for an hour.
