Today when it was foggy i started my car and it seemed liek it had a very lumpy idle. AS i drove it for the first minute the car was sorta jery or sputtury with decent power but it shook and vibrated. It stop instantly one mintue after.

 

it think its because its getting cold outside. Mine feels the same way. and once it warms up its nice and smooth again.

 

bump...
anyone else experiance this, could my mafs be going?

 

My car has many miles but this happens when it's real cold out, or the car's been sitting for a while ( more than a week) to me that means the plugs got a little wet, so the symptom is similar to a misfire, usually goes away within a minute or so.

waverider,

It still does it even after I replaced my MAF. BTW, how's the new tranny, have you got to the track lately?

 

haha i doubt andrews gonna talk about his track woah's latly lol (hows that knock sensor lol) but yea bro it just sounds like the car was sitting in the cold for the week while u where in florida and it's taking its revenge

 

I get this too. Mine happens when the engine is still cold. I'm talking normal fall conditions, like 40 degrees. It does it for the first time I accelerate. I let off the gas and it begins to idle fine. Getting back on the gas after letting off produces normal acceleration. WTF? Its only happened very recently and not every time I do a cold start.

 

never happend to me b4

 

Mine started when I had about 145k, and now I have 224k, sometimes yes, sometimes no... I guess the car has character. . .

 

my car had 80k and it was fairly warm, maybe the fog?

 

get a car starter like me

 

Mine does it when its cold out. If you warm up the car a little and drive it normaly until its fully warmed up, you wont have a problem. Also if the car has been sitting for a while it will do it for a min but i think thats normal. could be wrong though.
