Two month old 02 EX during the past several weeks takes several turns of the key to start. Wife also says that engine sometimes revs when she's cruising. Any ideas as to what's going on would be appreciated.

It's been mentioned before that this could be a issue with altitude or cold weather.

I think the manual talks about starting in cold weather and mentions that you may have to depress the accellerator down a bit and then let up when it fires.

I noticed that virtually everyone in this thread that is complaining about it is in a cold weather state.

I know here in MN we have a winter blend of fuel (oxygenated) to keep emissions down.

Hmm...

I should mention that I have not had this problem with my van, but I've only had it 4 days.
