When I try to start it comes on and doesn't do slow until I stepped on the throttle and the engine is hot with few movement then the engine won't go off and will do normal slow both at park and drive. Multiple machine detects all 4 cylinder misfire but plug and ignition coil has been replaced still won't do slow when engine is cold! This has really cost me time and money going from one mechanic to another. Please what is the possible solution to my car not doing slow when first stat but until the engine is hot and has moved some distances.

I am not sure what you mean by it will not do slow. Do you mean the idle is high? Or that it is stalling or the engine shuts off when you are not revving the engine up?

Here are some guides that will help with these issues in general:

Once we have a better idea as to what the issue is, we can go from there. Thanks
