I was wondering if any of you all have had this problem (yes I searched, so please don't flame me)
When stuck in traffic this morning, after a sudden stop I did not rev the engine enough before letting out the cluch in first gear...Im still getting used to the lag. The engine died, so I put the cluch all the way in and turned the key but nothing happened. There was no starter sounds and no revs. I remember renting a mondeo in the uk and it could only start while in neutral, so i tried that and still nothing happened. Finally I turned the key all the way back to off and then to ignition again and that got it started. This is the second or third time this has happened, both times were in traffic when the engine was good and warm. I'm getting close to 5k mi so I will bring it up to the dealer in a few weeks. I just wanted to see if this is a consistent problem, it is a little annoying when a mile of cars is backing up behind you. Thanks
