My car engine runs rough in the morning. The rpm is higher than normal. The engine sounds louder than normal. However, after running the car for 15 to 20 minutes the car is smooth again. The rpm becomes normal. I ve changed the spark plus, plug cables, alternator and battery but the problem is still there each morning.

1. Defective spark plug.
2. Inadequate spark/coil, defective spark plug wire.
