Starting problem
I was wondering if anyone else had a situation similar to mine, I searched and could not find any similar postings.
When I first start my car after it sits overnight or all day while I am at work, it runs like crap. I shut it down immeadiately and then I can start it up less than a second later and it runs just fine. I don't dare let it run on the inital start very long because it seems that I might do some damage. I have a ODB reader and there are no codes. The car has 95K miles on it. Could it be an 02 sensor? Any help would be appreciated.

"Runs like crap" is a little hard to describe but if you have ever had a car with water in the gas multiply that by 100. The engine is violently shaking. Another analogy is back when the car was new and on a cold winter morning when you had to let it stall out so it learns how to maintain idle, only far far worse. It runs very very very rough. I am really surprised that a code does not come up but there is none.
