Angry does this sound bad to u?

ok car misses when cold and stops after it warms up. so i took it in for someone to just look at real quick. and he said that he thinks that the plug is blow open or the tip has broke off and is missing when cold then when the plug is warm it stops. now if the tip broke off is it just gona bounce around in there or what? im gona take out the plugs tonight and see. now if one has broke off can i take a pen magnite and stick it in there and see if i get anything? or will that not work.

i think if a tip broke off, i think you would hear it in side the engine!!
does this only do at a cold start and then when warm the car drives fine?

a plug and wire change is a good idea, at least the plugs.
