Rattle on engine start

Just had recall done and cambelt and water pump replaced on 06rx400h car done 134k and ran like a dream before all this work done. Now when the petrol engine starts from cold it takes a few seconds to settle to run normal and it seems to run on regular engine more than electric. Any ideas?

Talk to the place where you had the work done. Also, make sure they performed the ISC reset.

Common problem. Fresh oil change helps. Depending on age, you might want to change type/ viscosity of oil.
