Hey guys, I need some advice here. Every morning or the very first time I start up my car for the day, it would struggle or vibrate, but it won't start sucessfully unless either I:

1) step on the gas pedal for a little bit or
2) press the start button again after the first attempt fails.

It would usually start up the second time and it will be fine throughout the whole day until the next morning (cold start).

What would be the problem for this? I don't have any lights that comes on while it happens. Great thanks for any ideas.

I would check the fuel filter.

it's called a learning ECU

See if your battery is still holding charge

had the same problem..

learning ecu.. it has to adjust to the changing climactic conditions, and starting it with your foot on the gas confuses it. all i did was not touch the gas pedal every time i started it, and it went away in a week or so

Really appreciated guys, so I guess I would just start the car without the gas pedal and just give the button another push after the first attempt.

Thanks again.

how old is your battery?

just start the car and let it do its thing the ecu needs to learn, let it bog. after the 2nd or 3rd try, it should start up fine

It's about 5 years old.
