Hey guys this is my own car I recently started having issues with. Hope someone could give me somewhere to start with it. I'm a transmission guy, not much with drivability so here it goes.
Its a 2006 Dodge Charger R/T model 5.7 HEMI 52k miles. It started missing the other day real bad. It misses only after a cold start. I start it cold, it idles fine, start driving it to the first stop sign in my subdivision. (about 1/4 mile). When I stop at the stop sign its missing, as I accelerate its missing all the way up the road. It does this EVERY time after a cold start. The other day I just sat at the stop sign and let it miss hoping it might set a code. After about 1 minute of idling and missing it just stopped missing and ran smooth. No code set. It runs fine after that all day long until the next cold start. If I start the engine cold and let it idle and warm up for 4 or 5 minutes, it wont miss. It only misses if I drive off immediately after the cold start and it will only miss for about 1 minute. I was thinking of recording a movie with my MODIS but since I'm not much into drivability I wont know much of what to look for. Since my problem is so predictable and does it on EVERY cold start I was hoping someone here could narrow it down a little.
What do you guys think??
Thanks for any help.
