start engine problem

shouldn't make a real difference realy as the system is capable of dealing with small (race) batteries and big ones equaly as long as the voltage stays within limits (usualy between ~12-14V +/- 1 on a regular battery).

I had a similar problöem when the car stood still for a while in winter and temperatures were realy cold ~0-5° - if had to blip the throttle slightly right after starting the engine but it cured itself and only happens rarely now... on a mates car it was a little worse but cured as well with some tapping with the hammer to get it unstuck again.
