Are my plugs fouling?

on my 1984 3.2 Over the last month I have had a problem where when I start the car after it sits for a few days, it acts like it is running on 4 or 5 cylinders. When I drive about a mile it goes back to its normal operation. I have checked plugs, plug wires and distributor. All seem fine. What else can cause this.

There is no smoke ever on startup, car has 70K miles and does not burn or leak oil.

Look at your oxygen sensor and tell me how many leads it has going to connectors in the engine compartment. I.e., One main plug and another connector type plug......

Did you sprayed some water on your ignition cables at idle or did you just do a visual? A little water will tell if your cables are in good order.
