[QUOTE="Chris M 2, post: 828881, member: 66045"] Have had this issue ever since installing the K&N CAI back in March... asked about it back then but don't remember getting a definite answer... Every time I start my ST after it has been parked for more than 3-4 hours (like every morning or after the workday), I get a BIG engine surge (like 2,200 RPM). I expect a bit of a surge at start-up, but this is way too high -- sounds like someone stomping the gas pedal. It gradually eases down after about 3-4 seconds, but I'm concerned about the waste of fuel and unnecessary wear and tear on the engine. Anyone have recommendations about how to deal with this? I remember hearing about that Slick 50 engine treatment stuff... does that work or is it snake oil? I appreciate any advice anyone cares to offer (keep it clean!). ;) [/QUOTE]
