i started driving my 92 turbo 5spd before it was completely warmed up, and when i steped on the accelerator 1/2-1/3 the car was chugging like crazy with little power? it was almost like a vaccum line was hooked up wrong



then in a couple minutes the car was warmed up and had no chugging problem at all and drove perfect.

replace the coolant temp sensor.

I replaced mine and it still doesn't like to move when cold. Though I have terrible compression on two cylinders, so I guess I should shut up... :-D
