Poor first start....
Any advice on the above. MY04 STI, done around 4500 miles.
First start in morning or after a day at work is poor, the turn over is fine but the engine only just catches / fires up and then comes to life.
Thanks

As you say, it catches and then slowly picks up to a tickover. This is normal.
It only becomes a problem when it catches and then dies. It can be an absolute pig to start after that !!
As I said, just wait untill the weather gets colder and then watch all the STI owners complain (me included!)
