After owning the car for 2 yrs, this problem still won't go away. Is ther a TSB for this? It's a drag to start and the RPM climbs so slowly sometimes

 

Do a search on this topic. I believe I read some posts and info about thismaybe 2 months back....

 

Mine does the same thing. I hate it. It's annoying as heck. I also have horrible cold starts in the morning. Everytime I turn the key, you hear the engine try to start, then completely no noise, then it's as if it comes back to life then starts up.

 

Are you guys referring the "Hot soak" issue? Yeah, there's a service bulletin on this. The dealer basically replaced a more efficient fuel pressure regulator and updated the PCM. I had mine fixed a month ago and it's doing fine since. :p

 

You have a reference number for it? The dealer always acts like they have no idea what we are talking about

 

Thats probably because your dealing with a service writer. All they get trained to do is customer relations. You'll probably do better talking to the service manager, they seem to have more automotive background then the human punching bags at the desk(serivce writers).

see i had that problem but it always seemed to be worse when i'd beat the hell out of it.. so after running it hard i'd let it sit and idle a bit then shut it off.. this process and rid me of that problem
