    Why does my car run like hairy asshole

    go out first thing is the morning, car is stone cold.... starts fine idles fine, give it some gas and it misses like it's it's job..... once it's warmed up it runs like a champ now if you start driving it right away it'll go away about 1km down the road, it only does this when ambient temp is cold like -10c or if it's rainy..... plugs and wires do the trick?

      I had a problem similar to this a couple years ago. I replaced the plugs and it ran great after that. I would replace the plugs first because they're cheap, and if that doesn't do it, look into other tuneup possibilities (wires, rotor, distributor cap, etc.).

        you can visualy inspect most of those things, if you dont know when the last time they have been done, then chances are you have to do them.

                dunno, but my guess is that it depends on what you ate
