    stuttering/missing when first starting car

    When I first start my car it does that "subby" running sound. Where it sounds like its missing and stuttering. Or like its running on three cylinders. Than after a few seconds the idle will surge jumping up about 200 rpms a few times. Than it will begin to idle normal. And it drives completely normal.

    Any ideas on what my issue may be?

    Oh, before questions. All the news
    Headgasket
    New Head (milled flat, valves checked, checked for cracks)
    New autolite spark plugs
    New wires
    Fresh gas (thought maybe it was my last gas so ran it empty and put new in from a different gas station)

    Thanks for the assistance,
    Bucky

    whats happening to you sounds just like what my buddy was goin threw today. he had just put in brand new cheap spark plugs and wires and then his car was running on 1 cylinder. he then went and got ngk spark plugs and wires and it ran perfect after that. so im thinking it could be the spark plugs and wires you have. but im not 100% sure thats it so hopefully someone else will have another suggestion or more advice.

        Autolite plugs kinda suck for our cars, from what I've heard.

        Running the tank empty may have allowed debris to get into the lines. That's never a good idea! If you ever have bad gas, put in some premium gas, and maybe even a bottle of octane booster.




        Other than that... make sure that:
        -your plug wires are in the correct order
        -your cap and rotor are new and in good condition (i assume they are)
        -your ignition timing is correct
        -your valve timing is correct (could you have installed the timing belt improperly?)

        Is your CEL on?

          Well it just began doing this after I changed my oil/spark plugs. I was figuring it was the plugs but I was not sure since they are new

          And nope no cel no nothing car runs like a champ after it gets done acting like a woman when I first start it LOL

            Give her a week. If she's still bleeding, you have a problem!


            I mean...




            If changing the plugs was the only thing you did before this started, then yeah... try some NGK plugs, properly gapped (speaking of gap... did you check the gap for these?) Maybe even replace your wires (again, NGK... or Sumitomo)

              Well Im not sure what brand wires they were I got them from honda . My friend works there and got me his discount.

              And i'll double check the gap. if its off i'll fix it and see were its at. Probably will just get another set of NGK that's what I got last time. Shouldn't have ventured away from what works I geuss lol

                If they're from Honda, they SHOULD be Sumitomo.


                And yeah, get NGK plugs. Don't mess with a good thing! There are no real gains to be had from any ignition "upgrades" anyway.

                    Alright I dont understand it continues to do it even after I put the old ngk plugs back in. (which werent even 15k miles old). And I never did it with those plugs in. So it has to be another issue?

                      check your cap and rotor, your coil, and your firing order

                      mine was doing that after i changed plugs and wires and i looked at the cap and rotor and the only thing that was making them touch to make spark was the corrosion that had been built up.

                      also the coil(ignitor) i had a problem with it to

                          Distributor checks out good. Could it be my distributer could be advanced to far? (turn to far forward) for the new plugs?

                            Alright I ran my Cel codes. And this is what I got 41 and 14. Well I know what the 41 is from a previous thread. And now know that that cannot be apart of this problem. And 14 is IACV. Could this be my problem on start up?

                            also I get a code 15 for my TCU. Which is kick down switch circuit shorted. I have no idea about that one! LOL

                            So any help is awesome

                            ALSO. The car smells like its running rich, And it smokes alittle when I first start it and its doing the stuttering.

                            I assume the richness is probably from the need of a new O2 sensor. And maybe the smoke too?

                              so you had CELs and expected the car to run right? I would fix those 100% so you have no CELs and then see if its still doing it. The CEL is on for a reason and that could have an affect on other sensors in the system, causing your weird symptoms
