When I put my car in drive it jerks?

When my engine is cold (has not been running for a while) and I go to start my car, the engine acts like it is misfiring. However, if I rev the car up a bit and wait a minute or so the misfire stops every time. Then once the engine is warm it runs like a champ. I can stop it and start it with no problems. But if I let it set and cool down the misfire comes back. I have tried putting sea foam and fuel injector cleaner in the tank neither of which worked. What can I do to try and fix it?

Very little smoke, but a very strong fume smell! I put a reader on it, I do not remember the number, but the code was for a fuel injector on cylinder four.

My car has a mis-fire and times. The light flashes on and off (engine service light) on the dash. When it flashes the car doesn't run well, and it seems to have a mis, no acceleration. At other times the car runs perfectly well. Like tonight when I left work, it was running rough, it then straightened out and ran smooth, when I was almost home it again, ran really rough, and the light on dash was flashing. Any thought on what this could be. Thanks for any assistance in this matter.>>Kay

When driving once I pass 30-35 miles the car feels like it will die out. It chugs a bit and then it is fine and will do it again @ 40-45 miles. Had someone hook it up to a dignostic and found nothing wrong w/it. Pls help

I shut my car off for apprx 15 minutes then restarted it now it is misfiring. I have replaced the sparkplugs, coilpack, mapsensor, cadillac convertor what else could it be?

This car had head gasket leak. We replaced all of the top end gaskets new plugs new wires cam sensor crank sensor and timing chain. I have double checked timing and it is right, but car has no power and is hard to start, checked for spark and it seems okay. When the car runs the SEL blinks, could the cat be plugged or possible a bad temperature sensor confusing the ECM. Thanks in advance. Joe

I have a chevrolet 2004 classic malibu.
I will be driving and in the stop light my car jerks and
shuts off on me and I just restart the car and it will start.

Need to see if you got a wiring diagram for my 2000 chevy Malibu LS 3.1L. Did the head gasket job on the car and now we are getting to the part where it should start. But it wont its misfiring and theres a wire missing off the coil package(NOT THE SPARK PLUG WIRES)

No it doesn't run
it has fire but wont start
and when we apply gas it back fires and then starts to smoke from the engine
