My ride started showing these symptoms today. When I started up this morning, it took 3 attempts before it finally started. It started on the 2nd try but sputtered and died. Once it started, it was ok but gave me jitters that it would unexpectedly sputter/die again when driving (fortunately it did not). Again, it happened this afternoon. This time, 4 attempts. 2nd and 3rd tries were the start-sputter-die cycle. The engine always started on 1 click prior to my starting with the 2t. Is this a good thing (meaning it is showing signs of something that will be improved later on)? Has anyone experienced the same thing?
