Low mileage '13 GT misses on cold startup
Anyone have issues with their '13 GT missing on cold startup?
My '13 is a bit of a garage queen. Only 20k miles (2.5k per year) and sits ~4 months of the year (winter) with nary a startup. I do, however, add fuel stabilizer and use a battery tender and always give her a fresh oil change after storage.
Never missed on a warm startup, but occasionally will miss a few times several seconds after a cold start. Whenever I start it I always let the fuel pump "startup" before cranking.

because "they say" it goes bad during storage -- moisture buildup, becomes acidic, etc. . . . .personally I don't really buy it, since oil has been sitting in the ground for millions of years, I really doubt it would go bad in a couple months . . . but anyway that is the philosophy
