This problem started happening all of a sudden. When initally starting, the engine sounds like it is missing on different cylinders (erratic) then all of a sudden smooths out and is fine. After the minute or so and when the engine is warm and re-started, it runs great. The car has about 160K miles. The Fuel Pump has about 40K miles on it, the filter about 10K miles, the FPR about 15K miles (it doesn't leak when the vacuum is disconnected and makes a difference when disconnected/connected. I just changed the fuel pump check valve, plugs, the plug wires, overhauled the distributer, and should check the fuel pressure but don't have a gauge. Any obvious things I have overlooked?
Thanks.
