Question Rough starts after the car sits for more than one day.

This only happens when the car sits for more than one day (it's a daily driver, so that's not too much ). The car sounds like sh*t when it happens (like a lawn mower ) and I have to rev it (to ~3k) for a minute or two to get it going like normal.

I'm thinking that it's wet plugs or maybe it's leaking injectors. Anybody have any ideas? What are the symptoms of leaking injectors and/or wet plugs?? Thanks

-Matt

you would be experiencing a fouling like syndrome, and probably stalling at times if your plugs were really wet and or a gas smell under the hood if you had a leaky injector...

bottom line, start the car every day. it will run better if you do. oil residue and build up form the oil injection in the engine is the main cause....but sitting for a day is not that bad....it's a shame that these cars cant be like every other car, but then again, they woule be like everyother car, and where's the fun in that....
