I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but every once in a while, i'd say once a month, i'll start my car and it sounds like its cammed. it sits there at idle and lopes for about 10 sec until you give it a little gas then it goes to normal idle.

my only mods are: CAI / No muffler.

any ideas whats up guys? thanks - ryan

Mine does the same. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

the o2 sensor probably isn't warmed up so the motor is in open loop until the sensor begins reading a/f. that's my thought. it's not unusual. it only lasts for a few seconds after my car has sat for more than 12 hours.
