So its winter time and the top down weather is pretty much gone. The past couple nights have dipped down into the 20s here. During these past few mornings I have taken note that the car is skipping on the turnover during the time Im trying to start it up. It always turns over but Im a bit concerned about the chugging/ skipping. What is causing this? Starter going bad? I replaced the plugs almost 60k with Bosch plats and I just put a new battery in it last month.

 

i would also like to know... actually this morning.. when i started her up she stalled... and it was only ehhh i would say in the 30's?

 

same thing happen to me this morning. i only have a lil over 3k miles on her. what is it? i just got my oil change from the dealer could it be that they used the wrong oil?

 

This has been reported every year since the car came out. It's most likely a momentary seasonal "hiccup", which will go away after a few days of cold start cycles. Don't "help" it start by giving it gas. This will only confuse the ECU and prolong the amount of time it'll take to learn.

 

it's not the oil change....

but i'm quite confused...

i had the car all last winter and everytime i went out.. nothing happend out of the ordinary... i was just shocked that it stalled on me this morning after i started her up..... wierd things i tell ya.. wierd things...

 

I suspected that it would be the ECU wigging out. But last winter it never once skipped on the start tho. It would chug to start but that was it, just slightly concerned that its something else. Winter is harsh on cars... especially the s2k.
