car is puttering
#1
it's been fairly cold here in ottawa...

seems lately that when I pull up to a traffic light, the car will start to die. the rpm's drop lower than idle and the lights all start to dim.

spark plugs done 15-18 000km ago (and wires as far as I can remember).

recent oil change I switched to synthetic.

maybe its just really cold?
i should say, i particularly notice it when pulling up to a stop, put the clutch in, once the car has stopped thats when it starts to get rough.

i do mostly city driving, my excursions are all <15km distance
