Default My stang is shaking at a cold start!!!!!

ok got sum info from spike but i still wanted to make a thread about it....

Ok in the morning on a cold start my stang shakes alot for about 3-5 secs i think if not a little bit longer. After those sec have passed my stang runs like a champ after that. So ive been reading alot of other forum n reviews about this and i even called my mechanic, also got sum info from spike and got almost the samething about it. Its ethier being the spark plugs or the spark plug wires or even the fuel injectors.

Im thinking it has to be the injectors cuz if it were the spark plugs or the wires my stang would run like **** the whole time. also if it were the injectors would i be able to go get them cleaned or would i have to buy new one's.

at first i thought it was the oil additive i put but come to think of it, it wasnt, so i spent about 50 sumbucks to change the oil.

thanx in advance yall

I never said it was spark plugs or wires or injectors. I still think you need to get your battery and charging system checked out at an autozone,advanced etc....
