Hi, I have a 1996 Saturn SL1(single). Everything works fine, except when the temperature is below freezing, the car starts then suddenly turns off. The only way the car will stay running is if I hit the gas for a minute or two. What’s up with that?  
  
  
  
 Will the fix be expensive?

How much will that cost?
