Hey. The last 6 month my car has been struggeling to turn over the first time of the Day. The rest of the Day is usually fine but just the first startup is weird. When i start it, it stays at around 500 rpm struggeling to get the rpms up. The after around 2 seconds Its back to normal. Any ideas what it could be? Starting to get really anoying

Plugs are new
Coilpacks new

Sounds like its starting on 2 cylinders and then the other 2 are catching up when a bit of heat are in the block.

I would be looking at the gapping of the plugs as a minimum.

Fault code scan would point you to any cylinders that have a missfire

Could be that it starts on 2 cylinders. Got no fault codes. I Got bkr7eix plugs that every one rexomended with my stage 1 remap. It got a little worse with the new plugs but had the issue beforw aswell. Feels weird that the other two cylinders would catch up after 1-2 seconds @BigJase88
