Hard starting

[Bruce Wayne]

My MM has a cold start issue, when it cranks when cold, it dosen't roar to life like it used to, rather it cranks longer, then finally sputters and catches, but runs like crap for the first few minutes. If I touch the gas , it wants to stall. Once it warms up, it seems fine. I checked IAC anf MAF controls, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Did you just check them or clean them? Cleaning makes a world of difference, otherwise when was the last time you changed the fuel filter?

Thanks, It's been about 3 mos. since fuel filter change. I'll go replace it now, and give an update.

If you changed it 3 months ago then your fine. Try cleaning the IAC and the MAF. Also make sure your intake tube is tight.
