When given a cold start, especially in high humidity, the car has a hard time starting up (turns over just fine, but can take 3 or 4 seconds to actually start). At this time, if I attempt to drive, it runs really boggy, it almost feels as though I'm tapping on the accelerator and jerking along, even though I'm maintaining a consistent pressure on the pedal.
As soon as the thermostat moves the tiniest amount, the car becomes completely normal and runs smooth as can be.
I have no idea what the problem may be.
I've checked and sealed all exhaust leaks, checked for vacuum leaks, made sure all electrical was sealed.
I have no idea what the problem would be and it's incredibly frustrating.
Any ideas would be helpful.[img:c2893a3482]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/553858_IMG00019_1.jpg[/img:c2893a3482]
