Sounds like the throttle body is sticking. Do not use WD40 to free it. Use some Carb cleaner on it and then oil it with some synthetic 5w30 engine oil. You may also have to clean the MAF and MAP sensors if this is fuel injected. I had a 2000 Buick Lesabre and the glue came off letting in water when driven in the rain. It would cut out till the heat from the engine dried out the water and then it would work again.

SOURCE: buick lesabre nightmare

Need to get a scan tool and look at the data stream while it is running for alot more info.Also any trouble codes.Sounds like initially,the engine isn't getting any fuel.I would have a pressure gauge connected to the fuel rail on the engine,so i could monitor the fuel pressure while all this is going on.Items to look at on the data stream would be timing,what timing is the PCM commanding for the engine.Also,have you checked for continuos power feed to the coils during this no start condition,and fire at the plugs while cranking.You could possibly still have spark,but maybe it is extremely weak?I have seen bad ignition switches cause weird problems before too.Many things power up through the ignition switch,just a thought.Have also seen bad PCM's cause strange problems..38 volts is a little on the low side for GM.Usually see those at,at least .50 and up,and rise steadily while pressing the throttle,up to just under 5.0 volts.Potentiometer with 5 volt supply.Vacuum leak can be checked with engine running at a steady idle speed,spray brake cleaner all around the intake manifold and listen for engine speed change.

95 saturn strn with automatic transmission running really rough and stalling when I stop. what should I do I

Hi Duane:
Think I'll "shoot from the hip" on this one.
Just for the fun of it, check the pcv valve and the related vacuum lines.
The auto choke when cold means running rich and the fast idle is OK. When it warms up it wants to run lean and it sounds like it might be too lean. PCV or vacuum leak may be the problem.
It also would be a reasonable idea to to a carb flush and to add a conditioner like SEA FOAM to help clean things up if the fulel gelled while it was parked.
Hope this helps.

92 chevy idles real fast on cold start up, then after run warming up runs fine

Not an uncommon issue for one to idle fast while cold but , 2000 rpms is a little higher than normal. May want to check the engine coolant temperature sensor for proper voltage and the coolant level. Also, check for small vacuum leaks around the throttle body gasket.

Want idle on cold mornings.

Thinking possibly the air temp. sensor (mounted in the
air cleaner housing) Really need to see scan data to tell for sure
but that costs a fortune at a dealership.air temp sensor is fairly
cheap.

95 eagle talon - Runs fine when cold, terrible when warmed up

When I was building my 97 GSX, I ran into this same problem. I found that I had a bad vacuum leak. Of course, this was after I had done a tune up, changed the fuel pump, injectors, etc.

Let it warm up without driving. Set you idle a little higher by adjusting the idle screw on the throttle body to about 2500 or so. If it does the same while sitting then you can start checking for leaks. Acquire a can of starter fluid from your local auto store. Spray in different areas, short burst (DO NOT blanket the engine area) around the engine compartment, 1 at a time. If the idle changes then returns that is the rough area of the leak. Look around that area and see what it could be. Then you can start fixing the problem.

If not then you will need to get a vacuum tester. You can rent them (Autozone, Advance Auto, NAPA) or find a shop (though that would cost you more) that could check it for you.Follow the directions on the tester.
