Howdy, Im new here and just picked up a 93 s13 with the KA24de.

Since I test drove the car when it was already semi-warm I never noticed this issue.

With the motor cold and I try to start, it makes a small sputter and dies, if I try this like 5 times it starts.

Once its running, it idles 1k or so. If I try and give it gas it just dies out. But if I gently place my foot on the pedal, the rpm's move smoothly up.

Once it is up to opperating temp it starts normal and it idles at 700 or so (where its supposed to from what iv read) and I can aggressively step on the pedal it revs up smooth with no issues.

I checked for codes and I have a code 13. Coolant temp sensor.

I tried to reset the ecu to see if the code came back and I can't get it to reset... Ill work on that tonight...:wtf:



I know there are a shit ton of threads on this, but it seems everyone has different symptoms. Cheers.:w00t:
