Rough start
Car sat in the garage about 5 days since last start. Exterior temps in the 30s overnight. About 45 in the garage.
Started car today and it ran VERY rough for about 90 seconds and sounded very odd...almost as if all cylinders were not firing. Then, all of a sudden, it began to run/idle fine. Ran some errands and it ran fine and started normally each time.
Never experienced this before. Any ideas?
Thanks

As far as your issue, I'm thinking fuel. Do you use 91 e0 only? No ethanol.

Taking it in next week for the Mag Ride re-calibration. Will have the dealer check the spark plug connections, check for any internal error codes, etc.
I see you are an update New Yorker. I grew up outside of Rochester and boated on Canandaigua Lake as a kid. Beautiful country!

Jim, I betting it was just a fluke occurrence. At times mine will take longer to start when it has sat awhile, and will get a little shaky when cold. Now, if yours does it every time I would suggest you take her to the dealer as I wouldn't think that is normal.
