Funny starting problem WTF?

Tried to start my 94 legacy today & I have a feeling the ECU reset or maybe the fuel pump relay tripped... The car would crank, but just cough for about 5 minutes, and finally when it DID start, the car coughed alot as I was putting the throttle down... almost sounds as if an injector got clogged or something? either that or the ecu decided to re-learn everything? Car started right up ever since then, i just was wondering wtf that was all about so I can prevent it later.

Coolant Temp. Sensor. Search for that. That's what my '91 used to do. It wouldn't even code over it but once I replaced it the problem never ever happened again.

Yeah, i just remember the RPMs coughed for a bit when I modded my airbox, so I thought the ECU went back into learning mode, but I'll keep all suggestions open so this doesn't happen to the point to where it WONT start

Another vote for coolant temp sensor.
