Hesitation on acceleration after cold start
95 manual, 62,000 miles, no other symptoms. New plugs and wires at 51,000. New fuel filter at 44,000.
Only happens on cold start and not every time. Maybe every 10-15 times i start the car. I accelerate to maybe 3000 rpm, although I haven't tracked it that closely, and I get one or two hard hesitations before it accelerates smoothly. I don't change how much gas I am giving it. After it happens it runs great again.
Opti going bad? Bad injector?
