Hard to start when cold, backfires and stumbles when warmed up. Any 'expert' advice? 200

By pressing gas when the engine is cold suggests that the system may have an air leak, or possibly a bad cold start injector.. However, the cold start injector wouldn't explain why the car stumbles when the car warms up.. Because of this, I would think you may have few issues.

1.) Need new injector seals. You can check this by spraying a can of carb cleaner or soapy water onto the injecors.. With soapy warter you will see bubles.

2.) I would also check to see if all your plugs are firing. This could explain the stumbling problems when cruising on the highway.
