    Does anyone have an issue whereby their 430 sort of rolls to a start (cold start only) instead of crisply starting? My 430 has this issue only at cold start...no problem (if it is a problem) once it is restarted warm. The car always starts...it's just that it's a rough start.

    Yes, my black 2006 coupe likes to run rough for 10 seconds or so on a cold start before seeming to catch on all cylinders.
    It has done it since new, so I never complained about it.
    Runs great after that.
    I always assumed all the electronics had to warm up for a few seconds to get everything going according to spec.
    It only does it if it has been sitting for at least a few days time.

    Same here...I have an '05 and interestingly it didn't happen when I started it in 45-50 degree weather but now that Summer weather has rolled around it's the norm on a cold start. Not a big deal...dealer told me it was par for the course with the F430 and that they have not been able to "correct" the issue.
