    Unhappy Missing when first starts

    hey i need some help here...its tickin me off that i cant find the problem...first of all my engine is carb engine..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 leak some where because i would think if it was an electrical problem it would miss it all the time...HELP please.
    Sorry had this in the wrong section thanks for lettin me know

    Actually it should be in the Carb section...no just kidding Post where you like.

    How bad is a miss miss? Fluctuating? Or just tach kinda jumpy a little? Only when you put it in gear or at idle or both?
    Check your vacumm lines, spray some carb cleaner on it and see if the miss is better.
    Might be the distributor also.
