Cold start.. thinking there might be a problem

[white3ch0c0late]

In the mornings before I go to class or work, if my Gen 5 has been sittin' out on the street overnight, when I go to start it, as it cranks, for a second, it almost sounds like its going to stall, and then it just starts. It doesn't do this on a warm start, and it doesn't do it if I turn off the engine and re-start it for a 2nd time. Its only on the first time. Does anyone else have this problem?

It is normal for the 2.4L

I think it is somewhat normal in any toyota 4 banger. It sometimes happened in my 1991 Geo Prizm (a corolla twin), and in my camry as well. I installed a battery that has 700ish cold cranking amps, and it still happens.

clean your throttle body and use a fuel injector cleaner (concentrate) every oil change and do teh EFI service every 30K miles. Its mostly carbon buildup!

My friend's 2.4L VVT-i does that too. It is normal.
