CEL ... AGAIN ... in the cold

I've had the flash and the reflash, but tonight I once again got the ol' CEL. Like before it came on with the outside temps in the single digits. Anyone else with the new reflash still having this problem? How about thermostats, anyone having problems with thermostats?

Sorry no time for a search ... off to dinner, but wanted to put this out there before I go to see what other's are experiencing.

Thanks in advance.

I get a cel every morning when I start my car or anytime its been sitting for 8 hours or more. Once I drive it 3 times while warm it turns off...

Coldest I have drove my car in is 15 degrees , I keep it in the garage so it doesn't get that cold . When I was in Dallas at Christmas , it got down to 18 and the car was outside , the first start was hard , even died , but it start right back up and I had to baby it for about 30 seconds and then it was fine . No CEL either . Just wondering if I'm damn lucky , my car had the flash done in June , have yet to have a problem . There are some things I could take my car in for , but afraid they will reflash it and have problems . But I read in some thread that someone had a thermostat problem , if I remember right , the thermostat , when broke , stays open instead of closed because of the heat that the rotary makes . Good luck to ya
