When the engine is cold it vibrates/misses and feels like it has no power then it warms up and runs better but with a miss. I't has been tuned-up within the last week but it was having the problem before the tune-up. The tech. Checked for codes and there is no codes.

I would do a cylinder balance test on the vehicle to help narrow down the possibilities.

With a vehicle of that age, you may be looking at compression loss. You may have to get a compression test done if everything checks out.

Thank you for the information I will have to ask for this test to be done, I have put a lot in this car so far so selling it and buying another will not work.

We first checked to see if all the cylinders were within spec.' S and they were, then we check to see if fuel was coming out of the fuel injectors and there we found the number 2 Cylinder fuel injector plugged.

The car is now running vary well now, so I thank you very much for the information. Next time I will make donation, money is an issue right now.
