Hi Guys, Some feedback on the engine cutting soon after starting:
Since my last post I have tried the suggestion of letting the system boot up before starting. In other words, I push in the key fob, then press the start button without putting my foot on the brake. The green screen then shows "system check in progress" for about 2 seconds. When the message goes away, I touch the brake and start as normal.
So far, so good. After 4 months and many starts, the engine has never cut out again, and the slight 'dip' after starting also seems gone.
It does seem that the electronics needs to get all its ducks in a row before firing up. Luckily a very small 2-3 second delay before starting.
