Default Jerky Ride

Anyone else experience a sputter/jerky feeling when engine is still cold?

Yeah, that'll happen.

Like you'll pull out of your driveway, and let your foot off the gas, but still be going 7mph.

Let it warm up.

Well, either way, let it warm up.

I don't know where you are from, apparently IDK IDKland, but there's nothing like trying to start it on a 30 degree day, when it takes a good 25 minutes idling to fully warm up.

Yea, you have to shift really early and like an old lady for the first 15 minutes until your car warms up like fiji said.

If you accelerate hard at all it feels really jerky and bad, its normal... at least I hope

I get the same jerkiness when the motor is cold, it's really common in cars with dbw. I just let it sit and idle for 5 minutes and take it easy for a few miles.
