    Do you notice any issues while you are driving? Any CEL? Does the car bog down at all?

    You mean you just need to tap the gas to get your car started? Clean your throttle body and your problem is solved, also while you are at it you should clean your MAF since it is right there and takes a few seconds.

    Yea it happens on all grand prixs. I had to do mine a couple of months after I got my car. Just clean as much of the black off if the back side of the throttle body as you can and it will start up right away with no issues. Should take ya about 20 minutes to do probably if it is your first time
