When I start the engine, I'll let it idle for 45 seconds to a minute before I move it out of Park. However, unless I baby the accelerator, it will run really rough. Like, if I give it some gas it will shake some and almost seem like it's going to sputter and stall out. And I'm not talking about giving it a lot of throttle, I could just be giving it enough to get started. It will continue this until it is fully warmed up. It could be a hair away from the "warmed up" mark on the temp gauge, and it will still be running like this. But the second it hits the warm up mark, it's got full power and drives without an issue.
It COULD be related.... last night I was driving in my commute and to avoid an accident I had to hit the gas a little harder for a second. It gave it just enough power to get out of the way while still sputtering. A check engine light came on after that. I scanned it and got codes P1005 and P1007. I cleared the codes and have driven about 50 miles since and no codes returned.
My concern is in the winter time when it will take much longer to warm up. I don't mind letting a car warm up for 5 minutes before I drive it... but it could take 20 minutes to get it to temperature in the winter just so it's drive-able.
Is this a bi-product of the "fix" flash?
Any insights on this?
