So I have a problem, sometimes (actually most times) I start the 300C it will start almost instantly, but then immediately die if I don't give it some gas. The times that it starts normal once the engine kicks in the RPMs go up to about 800, then for a second (I am sure computer controlled) it will jump up to about 1300. After just a second it will drop back to normal right around 500 RPM. That is a rarity now though. When I start it now it will kick on really quick, RPMs jump up to about 500, then it will immediately die. Once it dies it will be very hard to start, sometimes around 4-5 seconds of cranking and pumping the gas pedal to get it to fire up. Very embarrasing in a brand new car. Has anyone else had this problem? The dealer told me it was because my key was not progrrammed correctly, after reprogramming the key however, the problem has still been going on. Besides, I know what the car will do when it doesn't have the right key. It starts fine and will run fine for a few seconds then die. This is not the problem I am having. This will die almost instantly. I am tempted to take a video of it happening. I hope someone can help.
