Hesitant Starting Tl

Hey Guys, for the past few weeks, my 04 TL has every once in a while been "sputtering" when it starts. Lasts for just a few seconds. The car has only 900 miles on it, and is garaged during the night. Anyone else had this problem? What could it be? Thanks

I believe there was a post about this a while back and I also think that the owners manual may mention something about it...It is not uncommon for it to stumble when starting. They say it has something to do with emissions at startup.

Mine does it from time to time. I remember reading something about it (like I said on here or in the manual) so I don't worry about it too much.

Frequently asked question. This is normal behavior for the car. You merely have to either crank longer or turn the key to ACC for a few seconds before starting.
