This only happens while my car is stone-cold, first thing in the mornings, at it only seems to happen at temps lower then 50° or so. When I go to crank my car over, it sounds like its misfiring, and it doesnt get over 1000rpm's, and it sounds like its seconds from stalling. I guess the noise i could use to describe it is "Wop-bubbub-bbuub---bbub-bub :laugh:" And, i'll shut it down, cause it doesnt sound good, but no metal interferance sounds, just that nasty misfiring sound...but when i crank it over again, it will do it just for a lil bit, and finally cough its problems out and run perfectly. And it'll start up just fine for the rest of the day, but its that initial start-up that is one that bothers me.
Is it a common thing for more cold-land DSMs, or what? I was relying on thinking it was normal because everything had settled over night, parts arent oiled, and its hard on the initial start-up because it needs to get everything motivated. And it only happens on pretty chilly mornings, warm nights and mornings arent a problem. Any suggestions, or just deal with it? Thanks.
