Default engine not running right

i have a 2004 SX RT and when i start my engine in the morning it seems to be missing on a cylinder, i was thinking it is a spark plug wire
it has new platium spark plugs and with the plugs it runs abit hot, i'm thinking about putting back some copper tips

i am sort of having this same problem, however it only does it when my car has been sitting a while. I'll try to start it and it will take a lil longer than usual and sound like its having a lil trouble. is this similar to your prob ronnie? i changed my plugs, wires, and coil pack recently so not sure what it could be let me know what works for you, it sounds like its the same problem
