Engine problem
1985 Chevy Camaro V6 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 175000 miles

When my car is sitting out in the cold overnight and I go to start it in the morning it dies when it idles and I have to rev the engine for a couple minutes to start it. Check engine light comes on; seems to occur mostly in cold weather.
