Hey fellas, it's been a while since I've posted. I've been out on my own for a while, using that ol' search feature to recover my answers however I can't seem to find one for this.

After my car sits all night and I start it in the morning, it takes 2 tries to turn over (known issue with the FIC injectors) and after I get it started it bogs down and drives really REALLY crappy for about 20-30 seconds. It is awful trying to get out of my driveway in the morning when it does this because I can't get the car to move enless its over 4,000rpms, it tries to stall out if I let off the clutch anywhere below that. This issue started happening as it got colder, around the time I installed my 255 fuel pump and AFPR.

There's a few things I think it may be, I would like you to offer your opinion.
1) Possible kink or low flow situation at the fuel return? *
2) Possibly something wrong with my clutch? Low fluid pressure until I've pumped it (or shifted a few times)
3) Possible torn o-ring at the fuel pump? **

* I am aware of a small kink.
** I heard that this will make it hard to start but after it starts its okay.

Thanks in advance.
 
Mine does the same thing. I dont drive it cold though, I let it warm up for about 5 minutes, but when I crank it to move it or something, I notice it bogs and takes a good ammount of rpms to get it moving.
 
My car does the same thing! I just let it warm up and it all goes away! Remember we own DSM's so something is always going on. (Right!) Let it warm up properly and I think things will be fine!:thumb:
 
What do I need to do to make the car start and drive away when its cold like every other car does? So far, pumping the clutch has helped a little.
