Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The engine will nearly stall intermittently after cold start of the vehicle when leaving driveway and entering traffic. the engine will bog with no power feeling like a stall is imminent (usually after sitting overnight). this happens 3 or so times per week and has been happening for 3 months. it did not occur in the previous 8.5 months of ownership.. reapplying the clutch and revving the engine and slipping the clutch helps however the engine is slow to recover (~2 seconds). a similar start (same rpm and clutch action) after the engine has warmed up does not exhibit the action. this happens with ambient temperatures of 60-80 degrees.*ak
