Does this happen to anyone else? On some (winter) mornings my car is a little slow to start and I let off the starter as normal out of habit, not noticing the car isn't running yet. No big deal as I just turn the key again to start it up. However, when this happens it really chugs for a second or two and the RPM's drop way down before it finally starts idling normal.

If anything, on other cars they end up starting a bit quicker after hitting the ignition a second time and may even rev a bit. I assume because some unburned fuel is in the cylinders from the "failed" first start. Not the new Stang though, it just chugs and chokes a second before finally going.

I guess it doesn't like winter any more than I do :shrug:
 
My 07 Gt does the same thing. It only happens when its really cold out on the first initial start for the day. I just assumed that it was because of the cold, because after the first initial start up the car starts and runs fine.
