When cold, right after start up, the engine in my 1995 ford explorer seems to miss for a few seconds then clears up on its own. It has the OHV 4.0 w/ a 5 speed; odometer reads 110,000 approx. No engine codes. It seems to happen when it sits overnight. I'm worried that an injector is slowly leaking and flooding one cyl. while it sits. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Check the ECT (electronic coolant temp sensor) It's like a choke for SEFI engines...

Could very well be an injector, pull plugs and look for any that look richer(dark) or leaner(light)
