    Weird idle

    So when I first crank my car, it's like I have a cylinder miss but as the motor heats up, it starts to run and idle perfectly fine. I got both new primary and secondary fuel filters to install tomorrow. I honestly don't think that'll help solve any of my problems though. :-\
    I'm kinda wondering if the injectors need to be cleaned.
    Also have inner tie rods and outer tie rod ends to install tomorrow. Hopefully that will fix my front steering vibration I need fixed.

    Fuel injected 3G don't have two fuel filters, unless you are talking about the sock in the tank.

    Didn't you just go through a bunch of injector stuff after having this same symptom?

    Yes. I'm thinking about just temporarily running small female connectors for the injector pigtails. That's where my issue was the first time...

    I have the same problem, always on cylinder 3, only on a cold start for like 30 seconds. Still haven't figured it out.

    Re: Weird idle

    How are you determining that it's cylinder #3?

    I fixed it. Forgot to repost that. It was cylinder 3 injector pigtail connection
