i start my car this morning and it dies down after a few second and then i start the engine again and it was struggling for a few second before it become normal. it was as if the battery is gone but i just changed the battery 2 weeks ago so i guess it can't be it. i ask a mechanic whom i bought the battery from and he said it might be the valve controller?
i also notice that this happen when the weather is pretty cold.
anyone have this problem before??
cheers

ok, cheers guys for the help

......last question is it ok to keep on driving the car when the step motor is out? will there be any sideeffect that might damage the other parts of the car?

Not really...

Just be mindful - try to compensate for the stepper yourself. Give it a bit more gas on cold starts (dont rev its tits off thou) & bit more juice when she's under load from AC etc
