I have three problems with my 95 gst that I need some help with. The first problem happens on cold days after coming to a complete stop. When I trying to accelerate away from the stop my car bogs down and almost kills itself and the RPMs flutter for about two to three seconds and then it jolts and accelerates again. The problem goes away after the car gets to normal temp. The other problem happens all the time. I am driving down the road and I push in the clutch to go ahead and break and the RPMs drop super low agian to where it almost kills itself agian (some times it does kill itself). Like I said this one happens all the time. The last problem is a tranny one. After a cold start my tranny wants to grind gears in first and second. It feels like the syncros are not matching up, but after the car warms up the problem goes away. I checked the clutch fluid and it is full and I know I am pushing pedal all the way to the floor. Here is what I have done to try and get ride of the first two problem. I just put on a new ported 1g TB with all new 2g TPS and Idle Control Sensors. I have also tried ajusting the idle, but no help. I have ran out of ideas to fix these prolbems. Any help would be great. Thanks.
 
I would check for boost leaks, and double check your sensors because it sounds like your ISC is not working properly. I hope that helps, Keith.
 
You can try adjusting your clutch pedal if you don't think it's engaging/disengaging completely. You might also want to do a transmission fluid change. You've tried adjusting the BISS screw? You can try testing the ISC as shown by vfaq.
 
I would change the tranny fluid. I had the same problem on my 2000 eclipse gt and put in some bg syncroshift and it helped out a whole lot. As for the other problems i would do a boost leak check and go from there.
