this is a 92 plymouth acclaim with a 2.5 4cyl the head gasket blew. i had the head milled 4 thousand to clean it up the machine shop said it was ok was not cracked (alum.head)put it back to gether. set the timing marks put the belt back on what a pain in the but that was car ran great now what it is doing when it is cold the thing starts hard it is fuel injected it acts like it is loaded up with fuel like there is a stuck choke but there is no choke on fuel inj cars. it acts like the old carborated cars when the choke would stick closed and would load up with fuel until you step down on it and clean it out when it is being started i hafto step down on the pedle or it wont start when it starts up it runs like crap for a minute then clears up then runs good when the car is up to temp it starts fine no problem i have checked my timing marks to be sure i didnt slip a tooth on the belt and checked my timing degree it is set at 12 degree it only acts up in the morning this is my wife car and she is scard to drive it she is afraid of getting stranded somewhere thanks i am lost on this one
