This. ^

The locksmith programmed the FOB for free when I bought it from him. About half what it would cost at the dealer.

Will a faulty chip cause 04+ cars to not always start right, acting as if they're either flooded or didn't quite catch? My car does that on occasion, and the woman at the dealership thinks I should get a new key.

Sounds like the throttle body needs cleaning.
Starts fine, run to store .. try to start and it stumbles or idles rough after a stubborn start......that it?

Starts fine; run to store; then won't start at first, like it hadn't quite caught on, and when I go to start again, I have to blip the throttle so that it catches. I've noticed, that on startup, it'll cycle the needles, then as the tach returns to normal, the idle will drop for a fraction of a second before normalising; since other 04+ cars I'd tested did the exact same thing, I assumed it was normal. But when it stalls or doesn't quite catch, it always does it when the idle drops during the startup... and if I don't​ blip the throttle then it acts like it's flooded! I'm not worried... yet; as long as it's not related to the whole ignition recall, and as long as it's something I can tinker with! Thought: how gummed up do the idle air control motors get?
