Missing Only On Startup

Recently my car misses on startup after she is warm, i just hit 184k miles. I have 0 codes or drivability issues, it only happens on startup and then goes away. Could it be a bad or stuck injector ?

Could be as you suggested Im also thinking maybe spark plugs or coils . I remember on my accord which used plugs and wires it would miss until warm up before I changed the plugs and wires

Thanks for your input, I do not think (but its possible) the plugs are bad, they are less then a year old. I still have the oem coils. never once had a code for them.

May be a sticky injector like you stated. Generally if an injector fails or is way out of spec. it should throw a code for a misfire in any one cylinder. You could take a multi meter and see how they ohm out. Maybe try some injector cleaner for a few fillups. Coils can be intermitant. Maybe check wires and harness connections to make sure all are secure. Loose wire can cause an arc but may smooth out on acceleration. Possibly iac? could be a number of things and would be tough to diagnose without it throwing a code but if the misfire isn't all that bad on startup i wouldn't worry too much if it doesn't affect driveability. Im sure whatever it is may get worse and finally throw a code so it's easier to diagnose. Goodluck!
