Got a quick question. Earlier tonight, I decided to get a pizza so I jumped in the cobra. I haven't driven it in over a week I'd say. I backed out of the garage and proceeded to take off. I noticed immediately that the car wanted to stall out. I got going, and once it warmed up...it didn't hesitate anymore. Do I have to start the car, and warm it up first? Kind of made me worried.:shrug: I am still new to the car so I'm still in the learning phase. Thanks again....Shane.:beer:

Some of them have that problem. You can take it to Ford and get it re-flashed if you are still under warranty. I don't know if they will do it for free otherwise. I know mine does it every once in a while, but like you said, once it gets warmed up, no issues. I think mine has done it twice from what I remember.
