    Unhappy Missing when first starts

    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 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.
