Re: chutter while cold starting
Do you use Top Tier Gasoline? Ever since I started using it in my Prius and now my Camry, I have not had the chutter happen. You can read more about it at:

Re: chutter while cold starting
my tch "chutters" from time to time during coldstarts. I've since put the car in the garage (not heated) and its still happening. does any one else have this problem? i'm still getting used to the idling sounds while warming up, overrevving and lower rpm's, but the chutter worries me
only have 8100 KMs on it

Anyone aware of a fix for this problem?

What the devil is a "chutter"?? I've had my TCH since 09/2007. Never had a strange noise when starting in cold or warm weather. Had it in North Bay last winter and the temp was minus 35C. The car was outside in the cold. The only thing different was when I pressed the multi display button, it took about 20 seconds for the message or function to change/appear. After the warm up, everything was fine.

I recently had the the ICE shudder quite violently when started after sitting overnight in an unheated garage when outside temperatures were around -18C (0F) and the car was not plugged in.
It has only done it this once in the 14 months I've owned the vehicle.

I believe the OP really meant shudder.

I am planning to go back to dealer again next week for this problem. If anyone is aware of a fix or TSB it will greatly help my case at the dealer.

Re: chutter while cold starting
Roger7 — Like Sooty, I've only had this "shudder" a couple of times in the eighteen months I've owned my TCH. I wonder whether it might have been caused by some water in the gasoline? Perhaps try changing your gasoline and see if this stops it, or add one can of gas-line antifreeze (ethanol) to the gas tank and see if this helps. Let us know! By the way, this has been discussed before in this forum, but I don't recall which thread.

Re: chutter while cold starting
Mine has done it 2 times. Both times the temps were in the 10-20F range. Seemed completely random, but concerning nonetheless. I got used to the quiet start!
My car is due for service, I'll probably mention it to them to see the reaction.
