Stumbling start?

DigitalAnalog · 07-31-2006, 03:26 PM

Hey guys,

I noticed this happen on a couple occasions. I'll be driving for awhile (say 30mins highway) and shut the car off after reaching my destination. I'll do what I have to do (sometimes less than a minute) there and then hop back into the car.

Upon attempting to start the car, it'll crank a couple seconds longer than normal before it gets a weak start. On other occasions it'll start but stumble a bit and then go to a normal idle.

I was thinking it could be related to the rough idle problem, but as soon as it reaches normal idle, it never stumbles after that. Fuel tank is never less than 1/4 so I don't think it's fuel related. It always starts fine in the mornings.

Has anyone else ran into this? Possibly when you've had the AC going for awhile, or start the car with the AC on?

Thanks!
