Surging idle at first startup on 2018 LE

[ElmerFudd]

3500 miles on 2018 1000 LE. Idle surging at startup. Engine light erratic. Shut off start again usually ok then. Noticed if I turn the key on and wait till all the light tests are done then start it that it doesn't happen?? Any ideas.

My 16 does the same sounds like it's gonna die or forgot to breathe. Once its warmed up it doesn't do it.

Do it that way.

I suspect it's a lack of fuel.....as in you haven't given the pump adequate time to prime the system. I always turn the key on, wait for the lights to complete the test cycle (you can also hear the fuel pump relay kick on, then off after a few seconds during this), then start it.

And..better fuel or regular fuel stabilizer - fuel treatment.

Thanks for all of your replies. Guess I won't worry bout it. I am one of those that is always trying to fix stuff before its broke.
One reason is because in my country there is no cell service in the back country. But I carry an Inreach for that. THANKS AGAIN. Great club!!

A country we don't want anyone to know about. 🙂

Good idea. I will check it. I change the air filter every 1200 miles when I change the oils. Thanks
