Fuel problems

i posted this in bolt on tech but wasnt getting any help so trying my luck here.....


my car has started acting kinda funky since its getting cold...the thing is reading 16.5 at idle and when i first crank my car and let it sit it will idle fine but when i put it into drive and it lets its clutch out its like it wants to sputter for a second liek its not getting gas, im not sure why its doing this, i understand when its cold out the car might run a little funky but this si aggravating and i dont think it should be doing this.....also when i boost now its like 0-5psi at a certain rpm range like its sluggish and dont wanna get up and go but hit about 3krpm and right around 8psi and boom it just kicks in....my car is acting all kinds of weird sincet eh weather changed and i dont understand it!!

might wanna check your plugs

why? not that i think your wrong, just wonderin the method behind that

 

[jesse_fc3]

just because its a very simple thing that can cause some crazy shit you know? im just sayn if u check them and theyre bad u saved a lot of time if theyre not bad u wasted 5 min.s it sounds very similar to what my car was doing i changed the plugs and **poof** it ran fine
also with the cooler temps cars tend to run more rich at idle and may have fouled ## plugs on start up. but i think its a good place to start.

I know its what everyone says, but do a boost leak check. Like jesse said, check your plugs, see if they are fouled. Doesnt meen they are bad. Clean them up and put them back in. Check all your vac lines. The cold will cause dry rotted lines to get worse. Start there and proceed to check all the other systems.
