Anyone else have an issue with their car having a rough, uneven idle at the first start after the car has set? Mine always feels like it's going to die, like it's not getting enough fuel. No CEL and I run Quick Trip fuel, so it's Top Tier gas.
What's weird is that mine has just started doing it in the last month. I have a turbo MR2 that you can't drive until it warms up for a while, but this is new to the Sonic. ZB50, you need to post a pic of the Model A!Mine idles rough too for a few minutes upon first startups, but it doesn't get to the point that it wants to die. If I take off without letting it settle after the first startup then it has inconsistent power for a few minutes.

Wow, now THAT is a model A!!!
Anyway, my rough start feels like a misfire issue, but with no CEL, it's going to be hard to figure out. Or, it feels like a clogged fuel filter, but since the Sonic just has a sock and no external fuel filter, it can't be that!

I have I think the same problem. In the morning, or when the car sits for a few hours the car will run rough for 10-20 seconds. It can get bad enough that the traction light comes on. I see no issue after the 20 sec or so. MPG is the same, power, same. I had this problem at the 30,000ish mark, they replaced the head, now at the 70,000ish mark it is happening again. Going to the draler tomorrow I will keep you updated. The car is stock. Also had the tranny replaced at the 50k mark. Good thing this car has the 10/100
The car is in the dealer, no news yet, pushing 10 days. I will give you a update tomorrow after I call the dealer
