Hello.my car is great ,it only has 77 thousand kilometers (46k miles),but there is one little issue i am wondering if some one can help me with.The car starts no problem when it is cold (and at -50 here in wpg,it started no problem -it was plugged in).Then when i drive it for 30 minutes or whatever,i go to re-start it and it takes 4-5 times of turning it over to get it to go.When it does re-start-it is a bit rough for a couple of seconds,then the idle kicks in and all is fine. i spoke with the dealer in Regina,Saskatchewan,yesterday-as i travel on the road.and he feels that it could be the injectors,or the fuel pump. the car has new wires and was just tuned -up.could the injectors be bad with so few miles on it?Or is it just a adjustment that needs to be made.Please let me know -best -regards.

Your car my have low miles but she’s also 18 years old! Both time and miles can effect the CIS system our cars use. Over time the system becomes “gimpy” and causes rough idle. The system becomes less efficient thus causing the problem. Have someone check the injectors to make sure.

Good Luck
