Default Rough start in the morning! HELP!

So for the past couple mornings my S has been starting very rough. When I press the start button it acts like its going to start and then the rpms drop and it feels like its going to die. Then all of a sudden it will start up. Any ideas? Thanks

It's getting colder now. Your car is most likely getting the seasonal change "brain fart blues". Don't help it start. Let it continue to do this on its own and in a few more days, it should figure it out and "learn" to compensate. If it doesn't, then have it looked at.

No,no, no - don't listen to xviper. Pump the gas like crazy to help it - I read it on page 113 of the manual. Just kidding. Humidity in your area probably took a turn and it's re-learning.

Damn xviper - your sig lines shows 41 degrees there right now? I'll bet it freezes tonight! Gonna be an early winter?

The temperature dropped about 20 degrees F over the past few days. When I started the S2000 yesterday, the engine hesitated like it was going to die then ran fine. The same thing happened as the weather changed last year, only the car would start momentarily, then quit running. Subsequent starts were OK. I learned all I needed to know about this phenomena last year from Xviper here on this forum so I am not concerned. What, me worry?

The thing is, we "vintage" guys tend to take these sorts of things in stride.

...Or we are getting senile to the point of forgetting why we should care!

Just had to chime in on the weather thing, we hit like 92 degrees here in New Jersey today, I'll donate you 10 degrees up to Calgary.
