I think I have a copy of it... I'll see if I can scan it and put it up on here. I've had that problem with my 05 since I got it (nearly a year ago). Dealer just gives me "unable to replicate" excuse... 3 times now.

GRR i hate when dealers do that and there is a KNOWN issue with TSB reports stating the same thing. If you ever have a issue that has a TSB print it and bring it down so you have some back up. The dealer probably didnt drive the car around and just started it then turned it off and started. most people drove for like 10 min then it wouldnt start. (if i remember correctly)

I had it happen tonight when I ran into the store to grab some milk... came back out and it didn't want to start. I can't find that TSB yet either, but I'll keep looking.

Yah, I just got back from the dealership and they tell me that it has been fixed for 06. They also say that I should wait and the computer may adjust. Is that possible ?They also gave me an option to install somekind of monitoring device in the vehicle. When it doesn't want to start, I press a button and it downloads info from PCM to this funky device. hmmmmWhatever, I decided to try and wait it out (car only has 400 km on it).After the first few days, it hasn't done it since (over a week) so maybe the dealership was right; the computer adjusted

They told me the same thing initially... but it has done it a LOT since then. It is doing it less now that I have my CAI installed though, which is kinda weird.
