Condition and Correction

CONDITION:

Due to engine sensitivity to cool ambient temperatures below 4~C (39~F), the engine may hesitate or stall during initial launches.

CORRECTION:
Verify that the hesitation or stall condition occurs during initial launches at ambient temperatures below 4~C (39~F) during cold start and warm-up.
