hey i need some help here...its tickin me off that i cant find the problem...about a month ago my car started to miss when id start it up in the morning. it would miss untill the engine got warmed up and then it would be fine...so i changed the cap, rotor, plugs and wires....then for about 2 weeks it was fine and now it began to miss again when it first starts...im thinking its a vaccum problem because i would think if it was an electrical problem it would do it all the time...HELP please.

Fuel injection or carb?
This should be in the Technical section.

I'd say it would be someknid of vacumn issue - hopefully the carb pros can help ya

i may have to consult one of them because of another problem. even in this really cold weather, when i start the car it doesn't rev real high on choke like it should. it sits there at like a bit over 1000 missing and running rough until it warms up. them it idles fine. if i turn it off and come back and start it in like 5 minutes, it will race like hell even though the car is already warmed up.
