Put some fuel injector cleaner in. And change your dist cap and rotor. I had this too, i put some paint thinner in the gas tank (probably not good) but it cleaned the injectors right up.

ONLY use injector cleaner, because other things like paint thinner will be too harsh on the non-metal parts.

Try some TECHRON. 2 bottles in a full tank.

If its fine when cold, can you drive it, and it runs OK, then it gets worse after warmed up??

That would not be injectors plugged. That sounds more primary electrical system. Not secondary (plugs and wires, cap, rotor)

How do you know its #1. Does it get a steady spark?

You may need to Do a compression test to see where the engine is mechanically.

I have seen many cars with one or more injectors plugged. Especially if the car has sat for a long period, months. But a plugged injector is a problem that is present all the time, not just when warm.

when i start the car for the first time in the morn it runs perfect and will continue to run perfect as long as i dont turn it off. when i turn it off and re start after say 1/2 hr it misses on #1 and it has lots of spark and i changed the plugs, i even ran it with the #1 spark plug out and no fuel, seems to be lots of compression plug is sparkin away but still misses, then i let it sit for say4 or 5 hours and whala perfect again, the car has had a motor swap from what the previous owner told me, the original motor blew a head gasket and it was cheaper to replace the motor with another used one.

Wow...it sounds almost like my car. Although mine sounds like its just missfireing on ONE of the cylinders....however I didn't know you could run the engine without the spark pluggs in. How do you stop fuel to the cylinder? Or do you not need to to have the engine running when the spark plug is out?
