I recently purchased a 05 Grand Prix and noticed the car had a problem starting when the engine was somewhat warm, the vehicle seemed like it had this problem even when cold until I took the battery cable off and then it started better when cold. I also had a slight miss when I first took off in the car but now after the cable was taken off it seems to have went away. I have no check engine lights on and everything else seems fine. I can at startup bearly touch the accelerator pedal and this seems to help the car start. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
