its your flux capacitor. take it to your mechanic and ask him to fix it. its very common in older cars.

Hello,
the failure of the water temperature sensor (broken sensor, wiring failure) can ruin driveability, for the ECU doesn't have a reliable information about the engine temperature. When the engine os cold, it needs richer air/fuel ratios to stay alive and accelerate. Check your sensor: is it damaged? Is the wire(or wires) OK (it's not broken and it's not shorted to ground or battery 12V accidentally) ?
Lambda-sensors can't cause your problem, because when the engine is cold, no lambda-regulation is applied because of the enrichment of fuel during warm-up.
When having warm-up problems, the water temp. sensor is always the first to check, because it can cause several mysterious symptoms.
Regards

You have to check these things :
1- Oxygen Sensor
2- Your cars ECU [Elctronic Computer Unit]
3- Check the Injectors

sounds like a cold start up injector or ported vacuum switch or may be just as simple tps (throttle position sensor)

sounds like your cold start idle up is not maintaining a high idle. get your mechanic to clean it out and re adjust it .....
