2005 cadillac northstar misfire


Recommended Posts

Wifes 2005 car with 29500 has misfire on start up.  Thought it was gas, new tank full, still misfires, but runs great after 8  to 10  miles of driving. 

shows 28  to 30  miles per gallon on gas. 

what could be causing this misfire on start up

Does the Service Engine Soon light ( SES ) come on?

My first thought is spark plugs or coil pack. Pull the plugs and check them for dry black sooty deposits which indicates rich mixture or weak spark.

I have a 02 Deville that sits for an extended period of time . It misfires when Started and sometimes it's real bad. I have a lifter, valve lash adjuster the bleeds down causing the mis and runs smooth as glass after a couple minutes.
