Hesitation to accelerate after cold start - 06/13/03 09:07 AM
Posting one of the first issues. I drive this 2004 GTP every 2 to 3 days. After the car sits for about 2 days, this condition occurs intermittently.
I believe the term for this is a garage shift. I put the car in reverse and back out of the driveway using no gas, just gravity and brakes usually. Then I put it in drive, press the accelerator and there is a hesitation. It only lasts a second or less and then the power kicks in. This is not a transmission delay, I have been experimenting and waiting until well after the shift has engaged. It seems like there is a brief fuel delivery problem after sitting idle for a few days.
Anyone drive the car intermittently and experiencing something like this? I have not taken it to the dealer for this yet, since it is very hard to reproduce and can only do so once every few days.
