mis fire right after start up
hey all havent posted in a long time, good to be back. i started to have a issue with my 94. after i start my car it seems to mis or back fire until the engine warm up. once the engine warms up it purrrs like a kitten but i cant figure out why this is happening. i have changed the plugs, wires, even cleaned my intake, thinking that it was lack of air flow or something to do with the fuel to air mixture, i even changed my fuel filter which was kind of a pain. any ideas would be appreciated.

Sounds like one of your injectors may be leaking.
Add a half can of Berryman's Chem tool and drive it 50 miles, then park it in your garage overnight and start it up the next morining.
You might also try Techron manufactured by Chevron Oil co. and you can get both at Auto Zone or Checker/kragen.
Some guys like Seafoam.

so when you say a injector is leaking that would be the reason why when it warms up and expands the leak would go away is this correct?
wouldnt it just be better to replace the injectors? where exactly would it be leaking from? is there a rubber seal?
