Thats weird, I had trouble starting my 98 Z28 Camaro too yesterday. I was worried because when I started it, it was making this droning noise and sounded like it was accelerating while in park, but the gas pedal wasn't stuck or anything. After running it for about 5 mins, the droning went away, as did the acceleration noise. I would guess the problem is that I haven't started it for over 5 weeks during the cold weather. I really should get out to my garage more often. I am usually busy with school.

I got to wondering if maybe the oil froze or something. Every once in a while when I don't start it, either the accelerator may get stuck for a few seconds, or I'll get that droning noise. But once it runs for about 20 mins and the temperature gauge gets to a certain point, the car is absolutely fine.

Do you start your car often in Winter?
