    could be a 101 things 1 eg dirty injector, bad lead etc. i wouldnt worry about it unless it starts doing it frequently.

    I had the same issue,

    New plugs, Leads, Fuel filter & putting some Injector cleaner in with a tank of fuel.... Never had the prob since.

    Yeah check the phsyco pheniox post if none of what i suggested helps.

    Cheers.
