2000 model. My car is missing until it warms up?

When I'm driving the car misses and jumps..when I give it allot of gas it goes well! But when it warms up it does good. Could it be a censor?

Answered! View the answer I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

could be a cold start solenoid, but i would look more closely at electrical connections for moisture/corrosion as this can cause a bad connection until things warm up and expand making contact. Start by checking Spark plugs, wires, and coils. Then check sensor plugs, cold start valve/solenoid, and all engine grounds for corrosion. Good luck! post back if you find anything and what it was or if not what you have checked and eliminated as possible cause.

I'd take it into AutoZone and get a free computer read out and go from there.
