Slow Starter Contrary to what the title implies, it is not the starter that is slow. Plenty of speed in turning over the motor but when it does fire, it slowly comes up to a 900 rpm idle from 500 rpm. Any suggestions on whats goin on? When I start it for the first time in the morn. it fires right up with an aggressive idle. The slow start only happens after it is warm. The car is bone stock, no tune.

starter or slow computer Whatever it is I wouldn't sweat it too much. It's likely just your pooter adjusting to the difference in temperature from the heated air in your intake system versus the most likely cooler outside air that would be soon to follow. But then I'm not a mechanic or even very smart. It just sounds right to me.

I am thiinkiin the cats might be the culprit. The SES light is on and I went to Autozone and their scanner showed something about the passenger side cat. Also, what are the 02 sensors and I often hear about those going out.

alright. go back to autozone. find out what the code is exactly bc some people at autozone think that a o2 code is a cat code...which is not correct. if your cats are bad...and you are the orginal owner you can get new cats under federal emmision law. anywayz. you can "gut" out your cat but then you'd have to buy o2 sims (79 for two from speedinc.) and your car wont pass emission test but thats not a concern at all where i live.
