Rough Start - Something Seems Wrong

zero610 · 10-11-2010, 08:20 AM

Bob,

No problem about adding the info to the thread. I'm glad you got a video of the rough start. I've tried to do that a couple times and they never come out good.

Your start sounds exactly like mine does when I have the problem (still doesn't seem to be every time).

Just out of curiosity, what type of fuel do you use? Originally, I was using some cheap fuel from Kroger, Valero, etc (93 octane) - whatever was cheapest in my area. Someone previously said might be cheap fuel, so the past 2 fill ups have been with Chevron. I haven't had the problem since but can't say I've tried to start within the 1-3 hour window when it normally happened. I'm going to try again today.

Let me know what the dealer says with your video evidence. Thanks again.
