Complaint:
Engine intermittently shuts off immediately after starting. When restarted, the engine may exhibit rough idle for a few seconds. However, the engine does not shut off again on a restart.
This symptom is more commonly observed on restarts after short trips and relatively short engine off periods (10 - 60 mm) - engine semi-warm.
No relevant fault code entries are found in the gasoline engine control module.
Cause:
Applicable function of fuel injector actuation by engine control module.
