I have a problem I have battled for years now I drive my truck only every week or two but when you start it up it just barely chugs and will only stay running if you are giving it throttle but it has no power and runs like crap for approximately two minutes from the time you started then it clears up all of a sudden like the flip of a switch and it only does this on warm starts never on cold start but not always on warm start it's random what do you think about that. I tend to think it's a fuel injector because I actually was able to pop the hood fast enough to see it one time and one of the injectors was doing some funky spray and the other nothing but when it's running poorly it seems like it's getting too much fuel, not lacking fuel. It is a 88' with the 454 engine. It tends to do with the most after you have driven it to operating temperature then you shut it off and started back up a half hour or more later. Other than this temporary issue on warm start up the engine always runs perfect
