2001 ford mustang. performance issue. please help! Sign In

I have a 2001 ford mustang 3.8L V6 with 128,000 miles on it. It always has troubles starting in the winter and then this winter it ran very rough and died and couldn't get it started. I replaced the spark plugs and wires, Coil,new air filter and new fuel filter. After I replaced the fuel filter that last thing I replaced it started like champ, and ran good for a minute and then started get a low idle and bog down, but then ran good for 30 seconds and then bogged down again and then eventually quit and now can't get is started again....what do you think it might be?

So car is giving starting problems in cold weather...Maybe there is a technical problem, operating system is not allowing excess fuel to the injectors (due to cold)....I would suggest you get auto electrician get the problem sorted, or else you will end up replacing things for no reason..Good Luck
