    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

misfire after battery disconnect

As I don't drive too often lately and my 2013 Genni 5.0 R-Spec has a parasitic drain, I disconnect the battery when I know I won't be driving it the next day. When I reconnect to use the car, I have to let the car warm up for 5 minutes before I touch the throttle. If I don't, after driving for a few miles the car will develop a terrible misfire, especially adfter giving it some gas, and become undrivable.

This never used to happen so I guess something is malfunctioning. I didn't used to warm up the car before I drive it after a battery disconnect and I suspect either a sensor or the ECU is malfunctioning. Can anyone tell me what is the likely cause or if they have suffered a similar problem?

Thanks in advance
 
By disconnecting/reconnecting the battery, are you forcing the car to relearn any vital systems and computer settings it needs to run properly? Have you considered using a smart charger/maintainer like a NOCO GENIUS 5 when you’re not using the car for a few days instead? It won’t pinpoint the parasitic drain issue, but you won’t lose any vital settings either, and it’ll keep your battery healthier.

Yes, I beleive the car relearns many systems. Usually this was unproblematic but now it seems that if I touch the throttle, even before I start the engine, the learn process seems to go wrong.
I have considered using a smart charger but because it can be weeks between uses I prefer not to have anything connected for that long but thanks for the tip
