I have a 2012 Ram 1500 with an interesting problem, well for me anyway.
It starts normally and well cold or hot. But with cold start, and starting to drive, it has almost no power and there feels to be a slight miss. If it was a carburetted vehicle, I would think that the power valve was stuck closed. Once it warms up it appears to run fine. The other interesting part is that the fuel economy dropped from 21 -22 MPG on the highway down to 14 MPG highway.
The spark plugs were recently replaced with no improvement. Air filter is clean.
Any ideas much appreciated.
