Is the Elise a cold blooded Girl??
It seems that almost every start up and drive, (first mile or so), that my car seems to want more air/fuel or something. It is fine after it is warmed up and does not stall at stop lights etc.?? Anyone else have this before and if so what was the cause ?? Is she just Cold Blooded?? for the first while in the mornings.. ?

Welcome to LEV3 emissions, there is a newer flash that can help, but the first 30 seconds is anyones game.
If you let it idle 30 seconds without touching the throttle at all, and it still has running issues, its more likely to be in need of the update. If however it runs fine then it is normal.

thanks
ok thanks .. it's usually just the first little while, it does idle ok in that first while but it's just the take off to third gear that stutters.. Much thanks though.

Mine does the same thing, she needs a hot second to warm up. I thought maybe it was my Fujita, but realized it did it a little before that install anyways.

Mine too. I always get a stumble or two in the first minute or two.. Treat her kindly until the temps show on the dash.
