Engine Missing
Engine is starting to miss when I first start it in the morning. Once it warms up, it goes away. EFI says I am missing on #7. I pulled the plug. Has some green on it, coolant? I think I may have a leaky head gasket. Or could it be something else??

Swap a different injector onto that cylinder, then see if the miss follows the injector. Try the same thing with the coil pack for that cylinder. If neither of those tests issolate the problem, do a compression test on that cylinder and a couple others to see it it's in line.
In any engine you need three basic things: fuel, spark, and compression.

I would do a leak down on that cylinder. You may have hurt the piston. I am not sure about your area, but this time of year plugs get weird colored up in the northern states due to fuel additives.
