    Default Choking

    Yeh had my car just sitting around for 4-5 days at a time but after these long breaks the car sounds like its chocking real bad and lots of shaking at the front for about 15 seconds and then it comes right, anyone ever had this and what could it possibly be ? Should i clean the MAF and intake or could it be worse ? Oh yeh on a normal routine, starting the car everyday - this has never happened

    Sounds like fuel to me. But the description is vague.

    My Calais does the same thing if it is moved short distances. Don't know if you're moving short distances but if you do, leave it run for a little bit before shutting it down and it doesn't shudder on start up.

    Flooded fuel lines? Due to short distances?

    When you turn the key to accesories before starting there should be a little whine from the fuel pump, that delivers fuel to the car, therfor you cant really flood the fuel lines. If you had a split fuel line the chances of leaking fuel on the ground are pretty high, and the smell too.. doubt its that. Also if it was a split line, it would do it constantly?

    I think the car is just cold, i know i dont like getting up early in the morning after a big sleep
    Life starts at 200km/h
