Engine stutter after about 8 sec

[thewoahna]

OK, I dont know if it is any big deal or anything, but the past few mornings when I got to start my car, it will start fine, like always, but then after it runs about 8 seconds, its stutters just a little bit, and then runs fine the rest of the day, even after shutdown/restart. Is this something that I need to be worried about?

is the idle shaking and the car low idle?

cel?

sure its not...

ur fans kickin on ? when is the last time u had a tune up? check ur airflow,vaccum lines ,pcv valve and hopefully its nuthin major!!!i dont think is abnormal though as long as it doesnt stay doin it all the time while u drive.

Mine did that today, It was sitting outside overnight and all through the day in the rain, I thought it was going to die on me but it ran fine for the rest of the day. I think a cold start will do that sometimes...just like it always takes 1 or 2 extra cranks for me to start in the morning than in the afternoon or after i've been driving.

yeah....

that can affect the start.cold battery and a weak one,if ur battery isnt maint free u should add water to ur battery cells[top off].

Na its not the battery, all of my cars do this. My 2002 Ford Escape will take an extra crank if its cold or in the morning...it won't almost die, but I think thats because the new cars have electronic throttle control so it will adjust itself to keep it idling a little higher if it needs to.
