hey everyone. before i ask this question i have read the other related issues and havent found exactly what im looking for. in the morning i always start my car and let it warm up for a few minutes before leaving for work. when i get in and first take off, everything works perfect. i go for about a half a mile and stop at a stop sign and still no problem, about another half a mile i stop at another sign, and as i sit there my idle drops to around 300 rpms and the engine begins to cough a little bit. when i go to take off it hesitates horribly and then all of a sudden takes off like a bat out of hell, i shift into second, and it does it again. this whole B.S. process lasts for about a mile or so, and then it never comes up again, except for everyonce in a blue moon while the car is warmed up. i was kind of leaning towards clogged injectors, but i thought that might affect my top end a little bit too. any inquiry would be appreciated, thanks a lot.
