I seem to be having some issues (typically in the morning) cranking my truck. It only does it after it sits for a few hours. So first thing every morning, and then usually again that afternoon when I get off work. I don't know how long it has been doing it as I usually crank it with the remote start while I am still inside.
I start it up, and for the first 10-15 seconds it sounds and feels like it is about to die. It starts up immediately on pressing the start button, but the rpms fluctuate up and down and it sounds terrible like it's about to cut off. After 10-15 seconds it goes to acting normal and there are no problems driving it. Obviously I will be taking it in to the dealer to get it checked out but I have not a chance to as of yet. I've had people say it could be a weak battery, somebody else saying it could be the idle air sensor. Any ideas? I would like to have some sort of idea before taking it in as the dealer I bought from is an hour or so away and my local dealer will not be graceful enough to give me a loaner while they have it.
