    Minor Irritating Start Up Issue-Opinions please

    All
    As you are all painfully aware (as I mention it here ad nausium), I recently purchased my Zhp and am loving it. Did some preventive maintenance and the car runs and rides beautifully...except for one minor irritating thing. On start up (sometimes cold, sometimes hot) the car starts right up but initially sounds a bit rough. When I give it a touch of gas it runs perfect. Already cleaned icv, throttle body, and replaced fuel filter. Could it be the battery ( replaced in 12/07), plugs, MAF ...? What do you experts think?

    Forgot to ask....no codes?

    Even though there is no ses light...there still may be codes present which would help.

    No codes but I dont have a peak tool to pull the codes. Will have. to get one. The guy I bought it from took it to the dealer just before selling it. CEL light was on and dealer stated that it was DME software error -- fault for b1 o2 sensor. The dealer updated the dme software. Cel came on again and he had it checked again-ran diagnostics but found nothing. Of note the service agent suggested spark plug replace at $320.

    No kidding. How can they justify that? Plugs are no more than an hour...unless you're doing the job with your head in your ass.
