    Ok here. 2005 GP GT. 55k miles. The car starts up great when it is cold or has not been started in a few hours. However, the problem at hand occurs when you start the car after it has been shut off momentarily. You turn the key, the starter works fine and the car DOES turn over. However, it runs REALLY rough for a few seconds until its normal or it dies. To circumvent this, as soon as the car turns over I hit the gas just slightly right away and it Idles just fine. I tried googling around with no clear answer. I dont know if this is an issue with ignition or fuel delivery.

    Once again, cold...starts great. Off for just a while, problem as described occurs. Thanks for you help

    Clean the throttle body and MAF, that should fix you up

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. Could you possibly tell me where the MAF is? The throttle body looks a bit diff from the older series II engines.

    Google is sometimes the quickest solution for a question.

    Then come in with a relative idea for the confirmation
