Just bought a 2001 9-5 turbo wagon SE
 
Hey All! I could use some advice. I just bought a really nice 2001 9-5 turbo wagon and I love it but it has a little issue. I got it really cheap....I mean REALLY cheap so I didn't mind that the guy didn't want to fix this himself before selling it to me. The problem I have is that when I start it up and its cold, it sputters and then dies. I have to pump the gas for a few seconds to get it to rev up and stay going. And sometimes even when I rev it up for a few seconds it still dies as soon as it idles again. I know its a fairly common problem and i've heard several different diagnosis on what it might be, but I thought if you guys had an idea or experience with this problem you could help me out. I would appreciate any advice on what to do. I am pregnant with my first kid and due in 4 weeks and I don't want a problem like this to contend with. Thanks so much!

Have the idle control valve cleaned out with carb cleaner first:)
