Small delay when turning car in the morning?

Civic Pride · 01-10-2007, 12:11 AM

I had that happen to me twice in the past month, it turns on, on the first try but i feel a small delay sometimes in the morning, is anyone having this problem? or is it normal?

Even though my old truck was a GM, it too had that problem when cold. Kind of felt like it skipped in the steering for a second.

Is your car an Si or base+ ?

mine is just the base model, but i have exhaust and intake.. it does not happen all the time, it rarely happens even when is really cold(i keep my car in the garage).

it says on the bottom right corner

"At times, the engine may take longer to start than usual; the engine management software is working to reduce emissions at start-up"
