Hey Folks,

I have searched the forum and found stuff about hesitant starting but nothing that corrects my problem. I am in Alberta, Canada and it has been about -30 celsius which is approximately 2 fahreneheit. Cold I know. Anyways, when my car has been driven for a bit and then I park for a few hours, it still fires up easily when I try it later. I have my car parked in a garage but it isn't heated. I don't plug the car in either. When it has sat for approximately 8 hours or more it barely starts. I hold on the ignition and wait for it to turn over. Sometimes I have to give it a bit of gas and other times it starts but takes about 10 seconds to idle correctly. Sometimes I have to give it more gas to make it idle properly. I have tried turning the key to on so the electrical starts, the display on the car says "wait" and when that goes off I turn the key to start the car. It doesn't seem to help.

Hopefully this makes sense and sounds like something that someone else has experienced. I guess you would have to live in a cold area to understand this. I am nervous about contacting the dealer about anything but if I do have a problem and they look at it, will warranty cover even just looking at my car? If it isn't starting properly, regardless of the weather I think that something is faulty. My 05 Altima fires up immediately. My old 86 Tbird that I had fired up immediately. My $50,000 Benz doesn't. I have read a lot of problems that different owners have had on this site so you always here the bad stuff and rarely hear the good. Hopefully this car doesn't turn out to have problems. Any input would be greatly appreciated! If this is covered somewhere and I missed it, please point it out and delete this thread. I have under 3,000 km's on the car so it is still new. I had it parked for about 4 weeks until I got my winter tires and wheels on it.
