If the vacuum advance does anything at idle, or under any conditions that you can emulate standing still in the driveway, then it is not working properly. I don't know how this could happen on the FI engine, as there is only on place to hook it up, and that will have no vacuum on it under those conditions.

If this is just one cylinder not firing right away after a cold start, then it may really not amount to much of anything. I've had problems like that that I THINK were related to too rich a starting mixture which often left one cylinder flooded. In my case, if I would go ahead and pull out of the drive way, pick up speed and then take my foot off the gas and let the engine brake me down to the stop sign 3 blocks away, this would clear out the engine and everything would be fine when I pulled away from the stop.
