Default slow take off(cold start)
so ever since i had a tune-up a couple months back the bonne doesn't wanna take off right away on a cold start..i'll put it in gear and it'll just rev for about 10 sec until it warms up a bit...then no problem..is this a sign of upcoming trouble or just a minor annoyance?what could cause this..fuel filter maybe?

Possible... I'd be checking the fuel pressure... But at the same time what plugs were used in the tuneup?

I thought the 97 SE'* came with platinum plugs?

* runs off to check something *

OK those are the correct plugs

When you say Rev for 10 seconds, do you mean as in you put the selector into " D " and the trans does not engage for 10 seconds, or does it idle really high?

Ok will it engage reverse right away? Or do you have the same issues no matter what gear you select?

Reason I ask is that Reverse is manually controled and the foward gears are electronicly controled...

Is the trans full of fluid? Pinkish red?

Is this a sudden problem?
