What could be a significant enough problem? It runs great after the codes are cleared. The problem starts with a cold start, every day now it is a lumpy idle in the morning. Some days take longer to smooth out than others. Is the timing or duration of the injection pulse different when cold? I would assume so. What "controls" the injectors? The DME? Should I search for pending codes elsewhere? If so, where? Should I have done anything when I installed the new coils or battery? TIA
