starts and then smooths out after a minute. You can smell gasoline also during this period. It doesn't do it if it has been sitting for a prolonged period of time though.Have replaced coil pack,fuel pump, and had a tune up recently. 2.2 motor. Bad injector?

leaking fuel injector or bad temp sensor the temp sensor can be tested with a scan tool that reads live data look at the temp before you start the car

the fuel injector is a little harder hook up a fuel pressure gauge start car turn off car and let it sit if the pressure drops that is the problem



it also could be a weak coil or wire ir if the engine is ticking during this time a valve lifter

in case you dont desire to take it some the place for somebody to look at it and desire to maintain expenditures down i could examine your plugs one after the different to make advantageous their firing stable. examine/substitute your gas filter out placed some gas purifier and heet you pronounced it is been sitting i dont understand what the climate is like there yet there could be some water in it. in basic terms pass from there and notice what happens.

Dirty injectors.

Run a bottle or two of injector cleaner through the engine.

A bad coolant tempature sensor will cause this type of problem.
