Hi,

My car hesitates to start in the morning unless i press the accelarator it wont start by itself.. Only in the first morning start, otherwise it is normal all day.. ah, also it kind of jerks a bit on the first 2~3 minutes of driving (only first start)..

Anybody has any idea of what should the problem be..

For the record, i changed the o2 sensor not long ago.. serviced all filters also.. about 3,000km back..

It's probably that sticky stuff you put on the car yesterday...

...or the ECU going nuts from the looks of the blonde besides me!

I hope you get some constructive advice. Mine starts fine but is doing the same hesitation thing when I first roll out in the morning.

The first time I give it gas in the morning I get a little hesitation. All that I've talked to, including my service manager, have said that this is perfectly normal.

I had that problem about 18 months back. Dealer replaced the MAF and all was well again.

I have the same problem. There is also a flat spot when rapidly accelerating in the 5-6k range. Only noticeable when the car is cold. Dealer said it was normal behavior of a cold 996. My MAF was recently replaced after check engine light came on. Maybe I received a bad MAF. The car is new to me, MAF replaced soon after purchase.

I cahnged o2 sensors lately.. the flat spot is there mostly noticeable on 2nd and 3rd gear.. but i guess it's normal coz we get used to our cars so much we tend to notice little things like that..
