Hi everyone!

I’m in a pretty crappy position, hoping to get some advice. I have a 2017 BMW X5 that has been driving like a dream since I got it. I moved to the North Maine woods in April of last year from a southern climate. The past month or so whenever the temperature drops below 35°, when I start my car in the morning it will stall about three seconds later and show the little ❄️ on the dashboard. If I start it again, and then pump the gas, that’s the only way to prevent it from stalling out so I can drive my kid to school.

My problem is that I am leaving DV, so I am completely on my own with 2 little kids, 1 & 5 yo. It’s my first Christmas trying to support us all by myself, and I quite literally can’t afford to take it to a shop right now… Has anyone experienced something similar or worked on a car that had this issue? I guess I’m just hoping that maybe someone might have a ballpark idea of how bad this is? Ofc I know nobody can diagnose my car without checking it out, but I’d be happy to video it happening if that helps. Im woefully ignorant of vehicles, I’ve googled it, but hoping someone can ELI5 because I don’t really understand the mechanical terms.

Wish I still had my dad, hoping another dad can help (: TYSM in advance
