F430 Cold Start Problem

Have you had the battery checked? If not do that before you spend any money at all. An important test is battery voltage during cranking. In the US you can buy a device that does these checks for under $50.

 

I’ve the same issue, and it goes away if I give it a bit of gas after I turn the car on.
Its a bit annoying tho.

 

haha i posted the same question not long ago too.... my car used to be fine and now it does the same thing....and when i ask the dealer the service rep said the same thing to me.....just turn off and start again

 

my scud does the same thing thanks in advance

 

hey everyone who has this issue, does your check engine light stays on until this problem is gone?
normally i turn on the car and wait for the check engine light to go off before i start the engine but since this started to happen i have to start the engine before the check engine light will go away and it only do so after the rough idle goes away.

 

The engine light goes off only after the engine is on and you wait a few seconds.

 

I remember I was reading this thread when I was having issues with my 360 on cold starts when it would sit for like 8 to 12 hours, would idle terribly, idle hunt a little bit sometimes, and sometimes it would just sputter and die. The second time you started it she would fire up and start just fine.

I wasted a lot of my time chasing the issues that were mentioned in this thread.

Was the mass airflow sensor.

Same issues here. Nearly identical. I don't see a record of my MAFs being charged out, so looks like a winter project!

Thanks!

Maybe i will try the CSC sensor cleaner ...

 

just an update, i bought MAF sensor cleaner and opened the air box and sprayed the MAF sensor and then let it dry, it seems to have solved the problem. thanks
