It almost feels as if its misfiring, but only happens while the car is just started.. If I was to drive around the block, it would drive as it normally does atm. But right when i start it up, if i push the throttle, between 1 - 3k rpm, it feels as if its misfiring ( the same feeling when you disconnect the MAF and feel it pop ), anyone know what would cause this?
 
Does this only happen on the initial start (the first start of the day)? Also, is it cold when you get up in the morning and start it or what? Ive heard of numerous Eclipses huffin & puffin first thing in the morning when its cold outside. Maybe give a little bit better description, Im sorry I couldnt help at this point in time.
 
its kinda cold in the morning, but it happens like lets say if i let the car sit for an hour? -- It could be just whenever I turn the car off, and turn it back on, but im pretty sure its whenever i just let the car sit for a an hour or so. And even in hot weather, like today =(
 
I would look at your spark plugs. Check to see if they need replaced, if they are fine, check the gap. Maybe run some fuel injector cleaner through your car (it wouldnt hurt anyway!) Does the car feel like it is misfiring, or just sound like it is? Also, is this casual driving, or putting your foot into it?
