    Hard Start Now it Misses

    Guys yesterday I went out and the car was hard to start, took it like 10-15 seconds. After it started I let it warm up a little then headed out. About 5 minutes later it just starts missing. This happens instantly not gradually. The best way I can describe the miss is it feels like a couple cylinders are down, runs like a Subaru boxer without any power lol. I changed all the plugs and one was covered in oil. I thought I might of had some fouled plugs because I didn't give it a good amount of warm up time. Any recommendations? I have done the plugs, plug wires and the cap looks brand new.

    Wrong valve adjustment will do this. Good when cold, misfire when warm. Also AFM can do this, work good when cold, not so good when warm.

        Well I think I may have some dirty stopped up injectors. One plug is dry so I think the injector may be stopped up. I am down a cylinder and I am getting spark everywhere. I will let yall know so we can narrow things down next time anyone has this problem.
