Cold Starts like GARBAGE

[edi]

i feel yah, guys... mine does the same, too. on cold starts (when the car has been sitting for a whille), it's idle is rough and low for about 15-20 seconds then goes nice and smooth. i noticed this after i changed my spark plugs to a one step colder copper NGK plug. it never realy did this before then... maybe every now and then. but now its every "cold" start and only on cold starts. it would start up just fine if the engine was warm from previouse start ups. i dont know what to think about this one...

Mine also does it. Cold start = 5-10sec of rough idle. Everyone that sees me start my car cold cringes.

My n/a did this. After spark plugs,wires, and distrubeter it hasnt done it since.

yeah so i've been driving my car more frequently latey and it seems to be getting better..what that means..i dunno....you guys recommend seafoam? i hear from one person thats its great and the other says its crap. how is it?

 

[Aaron J Williams]

I've used seafoam for years and it has never failed me.

seafoam is a decent product. im even known to pull a vac line and let it get pulled through said line. shut it down dor a few and come back in a half hour and it starts great. just puffs smoke like mad, but it does clean the hell out of the system.

ISC (Idle Speed Control) Valve

it may be possible for a leaking injector to cause this problem.

fuel would puddle in the cylinder or on valve, when trying to start more fuel is being put in which would cause a rich miss fire, the motor won't burn all the liquid fuel at once, try holding the trottle full open on cranking and see what happens, let me know if this works.

question about seafoam.
do you pour it in your gastank, wait a while and then fire it up...or pour it in...run it 5 min...shut off and then put it back on in a half hour? then directions on the can dont help
