Hello everyone,

I have a 2001 Rodeo with 80k miles on it which runs great except that a few days ago it started to be rough on cold start. After switching to start it fires up but stalls so I need to press the gas pedal a few times and then it stabilizes around 1000 RPM. If I don't do the pedal pressing the engine stops. Once it has stabilized I can power it off and back on and it will start without any problem.

Could this be spark plugs, cables or maybe the MAF sensor? The check engine light is not on, so I have plugged in an odb2 scanner but it did not show any error codes.

Any guidance/help you can help me out to track the problem is appreciated.

Thanks,
