Bad noise on start.

Alright, if I leave the car sitting for a while (like while im at work) and I come back out to start it on startup it sounds really terrible. Hasn't been happening for that long, maybe 3 weeks now. It does have a problem with flooding, but I'm not seeing a lot of smoke when I start the car or anything

It sounds almost just like a lawn-mower, it's like something isn't firing, or I'm running on one rotor or something. The car also vibrates and shakes quite a bit while it's doing this. After about 20 seconds or so it starts to even out and sound normal, like something got unstuck, or restuck, or something. Drives ok after it's done, no really abnormal symptoms while driving.

But like I said, sounds juuuuust like a lawn mower/go-kart/dirtbike/misc. 2 stroke.

Any ideas?

Spark plugs, wires, injectors, coils, have you checked those?

The wires and plugs are ok. What's a good way to check coils?

I know that my injectors are bad, or at least really dirty.

Guess that's a good place to start.
