Today when the wife and I were going out to go shopping I started the Santa Cruz and it didn't start immediately when I pushed the start/stop button like it always has in the past. I had to push it 3 times and it didn't sound right. As I was backing out of the driveway I could tell something wasn't right. Then when I was in the street and changed to D it was clear there was very little if any throttle response. It didn't matter if I pushed it to the floor it would barely go. It would go about 20 mph but that's it. Anyway I drove around the block a couple of times and it nothing changed so I go back home and shut it down. After about 5 minutes I start it again. This time it started immediately like it should and it's running fine and has been ever since. I've driven it about 60 miles and started it at least twice with no problems.
I theorize the computer got confused because the passenger door was open when I initially tried to start it and was closed at some point during my attempts to start the engine.
Long story short...my wife needs to get with the program and quit lolly gagging when it's time to go. I think this incident will finally cure her of that. ;-)
