cold engine missfire?

So the other day i cranked my stang and let it idle for about 3 mins. While i was pulling out and heading down the road its like a whole bunch of missfires at once but no codes. It honestly sounds like chopping, like a fan blade chopping. Any suggestions?

Have you sprayed the motor at the car wash recently

My wife has an 04 and apparently there's an issue with water getting under the spark plugs. I washed it and it hasn't ran right since

Ive never seen any water in the spark plug wells. But ill take a closer look this weekend. If the engine is warmed up it will only do it if i put it under load but slightly. Im just at a loss

I replaced the fuel filter last week also

Re: cold engine missfire?

i think im just going to have to start from the plugs and work my way around. I just can't figure the cause of this out, sometimes it does it and sometime it doesn't.
