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

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.

Mine too. Annoys me, but not enough to let the dealer touch it.
