I have an EG all stock which has been sitting out in front of my house for a while that I never drive. Every so often (once every few days) I'll start it up for a few minutes and drive it up the road and back just to keep it going (so not to have it sitting static for too long).

Lately it has been starting up really rough for about 30 seconds, like idling very low and rough.... kind of like how it starts up after you spray out the intake with cleaner fluid, just real crappy sounding and shaky. After about 30 seconds or so it'll smooth out to a clean idle.

I suspect their might be a vacuum leak somewhere in the air cleaner, but I'm not sure if there is, or even if this would cause the rough startup.

Anyone have any suggestions?

my DD talon does the same thing, I know if I have the radio on or windshield wipers, or heater blasting or anything it makes it worse. do you have the same problems??

 

there cold start misfires, most cars have that problem even new cars, as long as that problem dosent continue for longer than a couple of minutes, theres not much you can do to fix it.
