Rough start in mornings!!!
Anyone have this kind of problem? It seems lately (the past week or so) when I first start the car in the morning, it starts out idling very low for a few seconds (kinda like its gonna die) and then it seems the ECU or whatever kicks in and the idle goes up to normal. This seems rather strange to me on a MY2000 S2000 with only 16,000 miles on it. I've never experienced this kind of symptom on a "new" car. Yeah, sure my '91 Prelude does that too on occasion. But then that car a hell of a lot older, too. I don't know. Is anyone else out there experiencing anything like this at all? Again, being a new car I wouldn't expect this type of behavior from it, but then maybe all is ok and I'm just worrying about nothing. Any ideas, guys? TIA.

Can you hear if the air pump is coming on when you start it? Right after the car starts, you should hear the high pitch "whir" come on, then cut off a few seconds later. You may also want to check your spark plugs. If you drive a bunch of short distances, they may be the wrong heat range, which could be fouling them out.
