I was also wondering if its normal on a CFI engine to have to give the car a little gas in order to start.
I've had this car for almost 4 years and its always been like that.
I figured since its partially fuel injected, that this was a little abnormal.
Does anybody know?
A mechanic once told me it might be a vacume problem, but I left it alone because it never had a problem starting.
You may be just pulling the slack out of the throttle wire.
I adjusted the mechanical idle stop screw up 1/4 turn and fixed mine.
My air valve was sticking a bit when cold.
Take off the air duct and push the valve with your finger.
If its hard the first time and then free's up thats it.
I never had to do it on the CFI motor I used to have. Take BobNorways advice.
