T,
I've experienced one instance of hard starting. It was cold that morning (30s) and I turned the ignition twice and got nothing. On the third try I pumped the gas once quickly then turned the key and it started instantly.
I've had no problems since then, even on colder mornings in the 20s.
However, I do notice that there is a slight delay whenever I start whether morning or whether the engine is warm or not. In fact, I've noticed that there is a very slight delay of maybe 0.5 second at least, from the very first day that I got the car.
I'm wondering if the starter will have to be replaced before the 30k warranty period runs out. Or maybe there's a slight bug in the fuel/air mix that the computer spits out?
Anyone have any guesses as to why a brand new car should have this problem?
