    Has anyone had a priusc miss and tick after a cold start. About a week ago I started my c the electric motor engaged and when the ice started up for warmup the engine jogged back and forth repeatedly and ticked quiet loud. Ther was also a noise sounding like a fan hitting something. I turned off the engine started it back up and nothing was wrong. Took it to the dealer and of course they couldn't find anything. Anyone have similar issues?

    One time my C made an odd noise when ICE started, not sure what it was. It seems my ICE starts when I put it in gear most of the time even if I wait for the ICE to start and warm up, but bam as soon as I put it in drive it does and not always the smoothest.

    Yes, I've had one rough start with the ICE. Happened after it got down to the low 40"s for the first time overnight(picked the car in July). Didn't clear till I put it in gear.
