OK, When I first start my car after is has been sitting over night It has always surged a little at idle. But, When I leave the house right after starting it and give it a about 1/3 throttle. It spits and spuders. If I accelerate lightly it is fine . Then not even a mile down the road all symptoms are gone. Except the surging idle but I think that is another issue. unrelated. It surged before the lates issue. It has done this weather it is 20d or 60d

Sounds like plugs and wires to me too.

I'd let it warm up a bit before giving it 1/3 throttle also.:D
 
sounds like plugs as well, im now running the E3s in mine and its running awesome with those, they are about $6 a piece tho.
ive heard alot of stuff blamed on the IAC, when it was blamed on my problem, it actually turned out to be a bunch of vacuum leaks, so check all those little hoses runnin all over the place before you shell out money to not solve the actual problem
misdiagnosis makes alot of people hate mechanics

But, When I leave the house pissed off right after starting it and give WOT throttle. It spits and spuders like a stone cold motor should before its reached proper operating temp

:D

Yes, I always let my cars warm up a bit, and luckily, I live down a mile long 25 mph road, that lets everything warm up some.

I've got to change my wires and plugs on my black Mark. I think they are original.:eek:
It does run rough at start up sometimes, when it's raining out, but smooths out quickly. It still gets the best fuel mileage of all my Marks though. I have no idea why.
 
its just his car telling him.

"hey yer drivin like a moron wait a sec....
ok NOW drive like a moron"

hoooo(second gear)hoooo!
 
OK changed plugs no change. but i did did have oil on the boots weather or not it is an issue going to changed the valve cover gaskets and intake gaskets and clean the irmc since i will be there.

Everybody's going all around the possible trouble but not targeting on it. How about the boots themselves?

Like Kracker said the boots have oil on them, which could cause misfire issues if bad enough. I bet once he gets the valve cover/oil plug wells replaced (and possibly the boots/wires too) he will have the issue taken care of.
