I have a 2005 2.3 that seems to sputter a tad during start-up. It only happens after being parked over night when cold (winter is here). I saw a TSB that said check for fouled plugs ("from stop and go driving"), and check the fuel pump for some blockage. The problem is either one or the other.
Ok, so what if there is no blockage, why are the plugs fouled? If they are fouled, then what? Tell the driver to avoid traffic? Sounds like a cover up.
Is this issue usually related to the fuel pump? Anyone have this issue? It doesn't take 10 seconds to start or anything, but it does sputter for a second, then fires up no problem. Only 12,350 miles, if it's the pump, I need to get it fixed ASAP before I get stuck! And why is this only occuring in the cold?
Thanks all!
