    Starter up...

    Has anyone experienced some weak start ups, when starting their vehicle? I went to start my Merc the other day, when I turned the ignition, it's like it sputtered a little bit and started really weak a couple seconds later. Whatever happened to the big Vroooms, when starting???

    I agree with them. Every once in a while it just doesn't start like normal with the Varooom. No apparent reason, doesn't seem to matter if hot or cold.

    Maybe rice stuck in throat is the reason.
