Odd issue on cold starts...

[hammy56]

A few times over the last few months, when I start the truck it stumbles a bit, then idles higher than normal for a few seconds...just under 2k rpm.

Only happens when the truck is cold, like when sitting over night. After 5-10 seconds its all normal. No warning lights, etc.

2015 1500 big Horn, 62k mi.

Not a major concern at this point, but wondering of this is indicative of anything I should look out for.

Thanks!

have you taken the throttle body off and looked at it? easy to do. clean both sides. do you have a catch can installed? if not consider it. plugs should still be good. how long have you owned it? did it start fine before and now it does this?

def look into a catch can. look at the threads and what people dump out of them. its worth the $100.

Will do...does that relate to the issue Ive got?

it could. is it THE reason? no idea. but popping off the intake tube and removing 4 bolts to take off TB is easy to do. either way, i guarrantee your could use a cleaning. even better, buy a new ported throttle body while your at it. hehe
