riddle me this

What makes a car run rough and rich when cold but, smooth out when warmed up ? Car in question is a 95 Z A4 with mild mods.

O.K. found time to replace plug and wires. Plugs looked loaded up and 2 questionable wires. Car runs extremely rich when cold and feels like it wants to stall sometimes when stopping. Stumped once again by the mighty LT1. any thoughts sees ?

Re: riddle me this

Take a look at your o2 sensors then if it still persists change out the opti, but before all that just have autozone scan it for free.

Re: riddle me this

the engine light isn't on. The car runs rough when cold so, why look at the o2 sensors?
