When I start my car in the morning, it very often kinda shakes almost like a cylinder is out. It does this for about 5 to 10 seconds and then goes normal. This started happening about 6 months ago when it was still under warranty and LR of Orlando pulled codes and said it needed new plug wires. Well they replaced them and it did it again about a month later and they replaced them again. It even did a CEL when they were pulling the car up for me to pick up. So a few months later it does it again and I bring it in and then they say that I have a leak in my valve cover gasket that may be causing the problem. So they replace the gasket and try to charge me over 800.00 and I say no way and I raised hell and the Service GM said they would "give" me this one. Ok fine. Well not even a week later it does it again and I take it back and this time they say the code pulled tells them there is a bad MAF sensor. So I pay them 400 to replace it and lo and behold it does it again a few days later. So, I take it back again and they say they cant figure it out and that now it could be carbon buildup on the valves or something causing it to shake like that at first start up. So I did the seafoam treatment last night and the CEL went off but I started her up today and it did it again. I hate to take it back to those morons again but I feel they should fix it and make it right and besides I get a free loaner rover since I bought it there. Oh, and I just went on a long trip to NC and now it over heats sometimes and I had to add almost 2 gallons of water to it. I can hear air/water bubbling behind the intake plenum on top back between the engine and the firewall. Does anyonme have any ideas? HELP!
