Overall it's a minor nuisance but one that keeps occurring. Many times when the engine is restarted for a second journey ie:(returning from a grocery store, restarting after filling fuel tank) the engine will run for about 1 second, cough and stall. Usually the second time pushing the start button everything will engage properly and stay running.
If it was a purely cold start, there would be no hesitation to stay running in any weather condition. However, if the engine is still hot to the touch before starting, this issue occurs.
Sometimes it will struggle on a warm start and perhaps drop to 350 rpm seconds after being started but overcome it's struggle and return to a proper idle.
This issue seems to occur about 55% of the time in this sort of situation.
