I have a 93 Eclipse N/T that I use for my daily driver. In the mornings because it's so cold I let it warm up for like 15 minutes and drive to school. For like the first five minutes of driving it, it is constantly breaking up and sputtering. Does anyone know what that might be? It only breaks up this bad when it's cold. Very rarely does it break up while driving when it is not as cold or warm outside. Thanks.

I don't have any check engine codes. I'll check the coolant temp sensor. Would that make it break up really bad though? It get really bad gas milage for the first like mile or 2, but doesn't burn black or smell really rich.
