Temporary Loss Of Power

Trying To Figure Out This Little Car....

Immediately after a cold start, my car will lose a bit of power for a few seconds. After 5 seconds or so, it goes back to normal and stays that way for the rest of the time that I am driving it. . This is only after it has been sitting for a day or so and only during the first minute or so of operation. It's a '98 3/5. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

What do you mean by loose power? Rpm's drop, runs rough. Does the rpms raise up when the engine 1st starts?

For almost the 1st minute the engine is in open loop and it is not using all the sensors.

Typical higher idle until it warms up. Doesn't run rough, just doesn't accelerate properly when giving it gas.
