in the mornings when i leave for work and when the temp is between 40 and 55 the engine on my monty seems to not rev up properly. i have to baby it, like give it just a little gas and then let off it and do that over and over to get the rpms up, but if i put it in neutral is revs just fine !! if it push on it it just cuts out and spits and spudders and throws a code p400 (i think). anybody got any ideas ?? thanks in advance..

oh yea 1998 mits montero sport 3.0 120k miles
