Everytime I start up my 02 Sentra, whether it is hot or cold, it runs on only 3 cylinders, then goes to normal (4 cylinders) within 30-60 seconds. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem? The car is running normally otherwise. Thanks!

I would start with coil pack... I would assume it is throwing a check engine light if this was a serious issue.

I'd go with the coil pack as well to start. Which engine is in the car 1.8 or 2.5?
