Arrow Strange Helicopter sounding startup.....
Okay guys....this is a weird one. Don't know whether its due to the colder weathers recently, but when starting the car up cold, it would start fine, but it seems that the rotors are spinning slowly..like it has to build more momentum before it finally idles right. It just does this for the first 2 seconds and then idles fine. Is this normal, or is this a sign of something? Motor has around 40K on it, with everything pretty much stock except for downpipe.

Mine does that too. I investigated and found it to be the K&N filters for my Pettit cold air intake. Probably just gotta reoil them. Good luck.
