Default rough starts?

'08 LX with about 800 miles on it.

roughness on my initial start for the day. seems like its starting to happen even when the car is somewhat warm too.

add that to some real touchiness on the pedal, it'll jump forward sometimes when i'm hardly giving it gas.

what's up? any news on the '08s yet?

The rough starting is curious to me. When the car is cold, it will lunge when you touch the gas. I usually let mine warm up for 5 minutes or so.

However, I never had any issues with a rough start. Maybe you have faulty injector or a vacuum leak someplace. You know, it would not hurt to take it in and get it checked.

Just a thought

mine just takes a sec to turn over, I let it warm all the way up before I drive it in the morning.
