glehav,
Check your plugs. Try cleaning them if they look fouled. I think I read some where that they get fouled easy after break in period when the oil is reduced to 50 to 1 or something like that. Just one place to start. Good luck.

Whatever it may be, I would take it to the dealer so they can pull a data dump from the ECU and inspect the engine. Could be as simple as a plug or could be a injector miss. In either case I would think it is a warranty concern

To inject or not to inject, that is the question...

Hi GL,

Fuel injected motors require higher fuel pressure (30 or more psi) than a carburated motor (few psi). The amount of fuel delivered to each cylinder is dependent on the time the fuel injector is opened. In automobiles, there is a device that keeps the fuel pressure constant. There may be one in the E-tec (just a guess) and it may be failing. Of course, with anything as complicated as the E-tec (fuel injection, computers, temp. sensors, pressure sensors, etc.) anything could cause a problem.

If it is still under warranty, let the dealer handle the problem. You can sit back and relax.
