when I try to do an initial cold start in the morning, engine hesitates and idles for a few minutes. After warming up, evething seems to be fine. I have a CPO Protection plan. Could you tell me what I have to do.

Thanks.

cold start issues can be difficult. what have you done so far? if you take it to the dealer, there is a CPO handling fee (at least in the U.S. market) so I would advise caution as the dealer will often not have your best interest in mind.
