Default Is cold-start sputtering normal?
Just curious because every morning on the first cold-start of the day my 12v sputters around 1800rpms if I'm giving it too much fuel. After a few minutes or miles it warms up and doesn't sputter anymore. Just wondering what this is from and if its somethign I should worry about
