Hard time starting up first thing in the morning
Hi,
I recently had trouble with my misfires and general non-runningness but it was attributed to bad gas/water in the gas after swapping out many of the ignition components. However it seems the problem isnt entirely fixed. Everytime I start the car after a long while (sitting overnight for example) it'll start right up but has a misfire or multiple misfires for maybe 30 seconds. In these 30 seconds it isnt drive-able and it has to "warm up" and then works fine after. I just took it on a 200 mile trip and it drove fine no hiccups. However it still has a misfire upon cold start. What gives? I'm at a loss because after maybe 30 seconds it will run fine no problems whatsoever. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

mine is doing something similar when cold. i'll start it up and it will almost immediatly die even if i try to give it gas its like there's no fuel. then i restart it and it's fine. i'm hoping it's not a fuel pump or something but i do have 141k on the original pump.

Run some sea foam in your gas tank. I had a similar problem but only in cold weather. Sounds like you also need to change your filter, it takes like 3 mins. I also cleaned my throttle body with deep creep and added 8 ounces to the brake booster hose. Now it starts right up every time!
