    I noticed when I have a cold start in the morning it idles rough for a short time and then seems to be fine.
    But, after not running it for a couple of days, it was worse.
    Rough idle and missing for a bit before it finally came right.
    This only happens on a cold start.
    Once its running and warm there is no problem for the rest of the day.
    There are a few suggestions for a car when it does this, like faulty ECT sensor (water temp),fuel injectors, fuel pressure valve etc.
    I am leaning towards the ECT valve, $40 or so.
    I do remember my old Audi doing something the same some years ago but can't remember what the fix was?
    Does anyone else have a suggestion or had similar problems?
