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. |
