2015 LCI F25 misfiring at startup.

MSport_Jon · 10-20-2015, 08:23 AM

Hello,

I have this problem with my LCI f25 35i. When it is cold in the morning the car cranks and starts fine. Once it is warmed up, 8 times out of 10 whenever i start the vehicle it seems to misfire and shake for around 2-5 seconds and there is a peculiar sound in the back sort of a faint "low power steering fluid on a ford truck" in the background kind of sound and then it recovers. I have taken it to the dealer and because the vehicle refuses to throw a code for the problem, the dealer says that it is normal for the car.

Has anyone experienced this?
