Rep Power: 0 Loss of power in 1st gear after start up
Thread title pretty much explains it but here are some more details...
It always happens after start up whether engine cold or warm...
UNLESS I start off in first gear and hit 3-4k rpms with clutch in then she drives fine. If i dont then it starts to lose power to the point of stalling unless i come to a complete stop and then do that 4k rpm procedure.
Theres no CEL or any other light and the transmission and clutch seem fine since it drives fine in any gear after that.
Also after start up only theres sometimes a rough idle if I just leave the car running for like 5 mins that goes in and out of rough and normal idle.
Anyone experienced this problem before? Thanks

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

No CEL but is there any fault codes?
Got a scanner that can display operating data?
