When its cold out and my car is left unstarted for a long time like over night, when i try to start it in the morning it doesnt start right away, I car hear the starter going but nothing, then i gotta wait for a second or 2 then crank it again and it fires right up, no idle problems. On really cold mornings it might take 2 or 3 cranks til it starts. Once it starst then for the rest of the day its fine. Even right after it starst first thing the idle is still fine. Is this normal or what?
