2008 Civic EX dying after 1st start, starts on 2nd try
Bought new, car has 2200 miles. Not driven hard at all.
Intermittently - doesn't seem to matter weather, or temperature - the car won't start on the first try... turns over, runs for a second, and dies. Then it starts fine on the second try, no problems. I have also have had it do this after sitting for a few minutes after a short trip.
It feels like the car is starving itself of fuel for some reason on that first try.
I took it to the dealer, they pulled the codes and said nothing was wrong.
I am *not* a mechanic, so suggestions, as I'm about to take it back to the dealer again.

Garaged + cold weather? Only had it happen twice this past year because I didn't drive the car for about a week and the weather was cold.
When you mention "intermittently", how often does it happen?
