I just bought this 2015 Chevy Cruze LT 1.4L Turbo. I am having a problem when I first take off after the car has been parked overnight. It has a slight miss maybe once maybe twice then it’s fine. Have replaced plugs with acdelco iridium. Need to know what to do next. Car has 96000 miles.

I’ve been chasing this for months. Mine does the same thing. It lurches a few times around 20mph under light throttle only when cold. Replaced plugs and coil pack, regapped plugs. Thinking maybe fuel injector related, not sure anymore.

You probably missed it but OP says in first post that he already changed plugs with Iridiums.
Looking for other possible solutions.

OP,

What you describe sounds to me like the ABS self check. It occurs the first time you reach 20 KPH after starting the car and feels and sounds like the transmission is grinding. I can also see how this would be described as a misfire. It's noticeable in all weather conditions, but is much more noticeable when it's cold outside.
