hey everyone, so yesterday I tried to start my car before work (the car wasn’t cold, as I’ve already ran to the gas station beforehand) the car struggled to start, almost as if it didn’t want to. I kept tapping the accelerator & it finally started. The car was shaking on idle, I gave it a few revs and it seemed to settle and idle normally. I drove it to work, totally fine & haven’t had this problem since. What could possibly be the issue, and where should I start? As I would prefer some preventive maintenance. Thank you! (It’s a 2.5i, EJ253 non turbo)
