Default Cold start

Ok so when I start up my car for the first time in the day it will start fine but after running a min or two it starts missing pretty bad. It does it all the way until it gets fully warmed up. I met a guy last weekend and he told me it's my intake gaskets. I just want to know if anyone else can verify this before I rip my intake off?

I have a similar problem with my car. I have an ms4 cam and a few other mods. I have to give it just a little gas to get it started and hold it steady to get it to idle smooth and after i let it warm up i go to take off it missfires at first until i get it going at a steady speed. And it will do it sometimes after i stop and take off from a light. Tey told me mine was my air to fuel ratio is off and mu o2's are reading bad

Have you had it tuned since the cam install, mine car is all stock but I dont have no rear o2 sensors so i think that could be part of my problem. I hear if you dont have the car tuned after cam installs it doesnt run right.

You guys need to retune your cars, or else the PCM won't understand what's going on. You guys are probably throwing codes, too...

I dont have any major modds done enough to tune my car yet, I just scanned mine last weekend and the only code I am throwing is the o2 codes. I am going to have my car tuned after I get my heads, cam, and stall in.

NO the idea is to check them before, there is no reason to change them if the bolts are loose.
