Default saph 4x4 prob help please

the last 2 days ive started my car its started on 3 cylinders

after a couple of mins it clears then runs fine

could the headgasket on its way out cause the start up probs or is it likely to be something more electrical ?

clean plugs first .....

check and see what cylinder is missing by having engine running and removing a lead from rocker with a pair of pliers one at a time !!!

If the engine makes no difference thats the plug thats concerned as other leads removed will make car run on 2

good luck , cars maybe getting to much fuel or just too many short journeys

then dizzy cap and arm ,phase sensor etc etc

try the cheap things first before ripping head off car
