When I start my 2g it will turnover then "chug" really hard then continue starting then finally start. It idles cold but misfires slightly and exactly when I get to operating temp it won't idle at all it will die right away no matter what. I've been reading around many DSM forums but can't find a solution. Please help this is my daily and it's quite annoying.
 
I would still run the diagnostic test and check. If nothing there do a compression test. Your rings could expand or something when warmed up.

Remember. I am not a mechanic so I'm probably completely wrong. But that's just what I would do.
 
replaced o2 sensor and nothing. There was some chaos and frustration between it too. Almost want to sell the damn thing I'm so irritated with it. The only thing I can think of is that the maf is reading negative something air temp but its a GM maf so idk. All fuel trims are at 0%. I NEED SOME HELP BEFORE I SELL THIS
 
Seems once you go into closed loop. So that would mean the car is adjusting based off of feedback from O2 and other sensors.

Is that correct it occurs once in closed loop?

You have a logger or ecm?

I think it needs to be up o 193 degrees to allow ft corrections.

Are you getting there?

Maf may be correct.

What's air per rev measure?
