stumbling after starting car & hesitation while driving

[1997SEgreenmonster]

Ok i have had this car looked at way to many times nobody really tell me why it stumbles really bad when i a start it up but when its cold out in the mornings i dont have that problem at all. And when im driving it i dont get a hesitation when driving when its cold but when its warmer in the day its pretty bad..... can anybody help me out with what it could be the deal with it

MAF sensor should be the first thing you look at. Just unplug it, if it goes away, that's your problem. You can try cleaning it but will most likely need to replace. If that isn't it, check coils and ICM next, people don't have luck with the testing of them, swapping will be the only sure fire way to determine ICM failure (I can send you a guaranteed good ICM if you need it, with all three coil packs for $50 plus shipping). If nothing from that, the next stop is Crank position sensor, this is by far the most difficult but still isn't too hard to do if you know your way around some tools. All three of these seem to be the major cause of this type of condition. Mine was a MAF. Make sure your CAT isn't plugged either, however this would throw a code saying that your CAT is below efficiency, or at least should. Diagnose what you can for free (MAF and CAT) before buying parts that you don't end up needing.

So i unplugged the MAF and got no kind of change in it but a check engine for unplugging it.... So i dont know what it could be i really am stumped.............. so give a few more ideas on what i could do bonnie fam

You may want to have the cat checked. A plugged cat will cause those symptoms.

Took my car to the shop today and put it on the computer they said ive had codes for multi random misfire in cylinder 3&6 so should i change out the coil and plugs for 3&6.......... and the they got a mass air flow sensor low frequency show up on the computer but could that be from when i unplugged the MAF a few days ago

Check for air leak in UIM. Mine had a hole under the bundle of wires on the right side.

So after pulling the plug #3 this is what it looked like and i changing out coil 3&6 and the front motor mount and rear motor mount no more stumbling or hesitation so far

This is my plug that i pulled that dont look to good

Is that a shadow or is the gap bridged?

How many miles on the car and have the plugs been changed before?

[1997SEgreenmonster]

The car only has 118k on it and this was new plugs i put in the car in the early summer time. That just a shadow
