Looking for opinions people. Recently my Terminator has had an issue where if I start it hot, make that luke warm, it will sputter and miss for a bit untill I give it a few revs. After that point it smooths out and drives just fine. This only happens if I start it back up after sitting for about 15 to 45 minutes. If it's stone cold or hot no trouble at all. Plugs and coils are good. Just changed the FRPS and also cleaned the MAF and air filter yet it still persists. Car doesn't throw any codes.
Anynody else have this happen before I start throwing money at this?

Thanks

Lee

Haven't noticed any loss in fluid. Will have to check the coolant res when it cools off. It is gone in about 20 seconds or so. So by the time I leave the parking lot it is running normally again. Also no visable smoke that I have noticed.
