when I start my car early in the morning, it runs pretty bad, i think it might be missing. It runs great the rest of the day. moisture in the dizzy cap maybe?

might want to tell what kind of CAR you have

There's a certain point where the computer switches over from a choke to regular mode. Just let your car warm up or keep your foot out of the gas until it does. Then when it gets to that point then you're good to go. I think the "certain point" is the temp, so watch your temp gauge and when its warmed up it'll drive fine.

Does it fire right up or crank a bit. Notice any black smoke out the tail pipe when this is happening. How long does it do this for?

all ignitino components should be good. no more than 3000 miles ago did I replace everything, even the dizzy

when your car isnt "warmed" up it runs in open loop..after it hits a certain temp it goes into closed loop...while in open loop it ingores reading from your temperature sensitive sensors and runs at a preset mode u might say..get it checked for trouble codes

um...I guess it depends, some mornings it stars right up, others it might take a second or two. I have dumps so i dont' know aobut the tail pipe, i know it does run rich. It runs rough for...i'd say 10-15 minutes.
