Both yesterday and today on early morning startup I got the increased emissions, heavy load (or something similar) and heavy shaking from the engine. I tried to drive and it felt like half the cylinders were not firing and very slow acceleration. The fix was to restart the car then it stared normally with full power and no shaking or errors. If I start the car anytime after that during the day there are no issues. Its only happened in the morning on cold first startup. Any ideas or anybody have a similar issue? This is the first time Ive ever seen this happen.

How many miles on the car? Do you have a scanner that you can hook up and read the codes?

No scanner, the car has about 67,000, oil changed in Oct of last year plugs changed in summer 2011 and belts, coolant pipe changed may of 2012.

I guess it could be anything really...........? Just thought it was weird, 2 mornings in a row same issue then it disappears the rest of the day after a second restart!

Try to clean your maf sensor with MAF cleaner and that should help.

Could b your MAF sensor starting to go bad.. think mine went bad at 80,000

Hi,

Go to AutoZone and ask them to read the Check Engine code for you. They should do it for free. That should be a good start before you start replacing parts.

Then also check Pressure Regulating Valves

DIY: Increased Emission No More!!
