No power at startup.

[97gst_spyder]

Everytime I start my gst it has no power. As in I put the car in reverse and it almost stalls when I let the clutch out, no matter how slow I let the clutch out. This happens in any gear doesn't matter. I let the car idle for 15 or so sec and it still does it. I have no cel's or anything.

I have new spark plugs, leaking rear main and valve cover (a drop a day basically), and all stock.

Any ideas?

Once it heats up its fine, full boost at 2.5k. I try to rev it right after startup, just blimp the throttle, it bogs then revs.

is it smooth idle when first start up or rough?

 

[97gst_spyder]

Smooth, its not a perfect rpm, moves about 50 +/- but not jerking the car or anything. Also, I did notice a good amount of oil in the UICP, could that be the issue, that once the engine warms up it jsut burns the oil getting sucked into the intake?

Also, I have a brand new battery and + and - terminals with a new grand wire. and ran seafoam through the engine about 250miles ago. It did this before the seafoam but I thought I would add that.

Could be a long shot, but check for a plugged catalytic converter as well.

I was thinking something with the turbo or exhaust. I'm planning on buying a test pipe soon.

Today it bogged twice at complete stops, I'd blimp the throttle so it would get into first smoothly, and it bogged just like it does when first started.
