(I know it long but i couldnt find an easier to say it so bare with me fellow dsmers :coy: ) Ok i just got my talon about a week ago now and i noticed in the morning its kinda hard to start, What i mean is that when i get in my car to go to work in the morning i have to crank it then turn it to the off position like 3 times then it will finally start...Today when i got off work at 8:30 at night it was really cold and raining and it took a long time to start it then it finally started then died 10 seconds later then it took me about 5 minutes to start it up again and i gave it gas right when i started it then it died again! So i check all the hoses really quick and everything seemed fine, So i kept on cranking it so it finally started again so i didnt give it any gas then it was ok and i got home fine...Another thing ive noticed is when im letting the engine idle for 60 seconds or more after driving it, it would sometimes die on me :confused:

Note: Seems like its only hard to start when its been sitting for more than a cople of hours....
