Hi , AllWondering if anybody has the same problem.Sometimes after I drive, stop, turn off the engine, let it sit for half an hour or so I have difficulty starting it up again. First time it wouldn't start, i do it again right avay and it starts reluctantly.It starts fine after a night in a cold weather.

Could be many things. How many miles are on it? If it's still under warranty, I'd swing by the dealer and have them check it, cuz something's "a miss". I never remember having any problems with mine, it always fired right up.
