Motor small miss

[urdreamlady]

When I start up my car from it sitting for a while it has a small miss and after about 1 min it clears out and runs great. What could make this miss? Where is the fuel filter?

I forgot IT's a 2009 Chevy Aveo LT LXV

Does it throw an engine code?

I'd probably start with something like plug wires.

[urdreamlady]

No there is no engine light on at all.

How do you know its missing then?

The reason I ask is the Aveo ignition system is pretty good at detecting misfires. Typically, you can't even tell its misfiring and the system has already detected it.

When you start it it like jerks some and then it clears out. I don't know what it is or how to explain it. It could be fuel filter maybe IDK. No light is on thou.

Could it be transmission related? Or, does it happen in neutral and in gear?

I doubt its a filter. But, you can test it by doing a high power run. Basically floor it for a while as you accelerate (on ramps work well for this), and see if you get all the power you expect. This flows the most fuel through the filter, so if its clogged up, this is when you'll notice it.

When car sits and cools down for a while. You start it up from cold standing and it does the small miss like. After sitting still for bout a min it clears up.
