I have a 79 Toyota Supra that has 0 power when the engine is cold and below a half tank of gas. I had to floor it to get to 10 mph this morning. The rest of the time it is fine. What could cause this?
I am not sure what is causing this, maybe a bad fuel pump or a vacuum leak.

check the cold start injector. it should be on line when cold and once it reaches a certain temp, it shuts off. acts like a choke in a carb in the old days
