Runs Like Crap When Cold
My relationship with my car has been love/hate.
When the car is cold, it runs like absolute ****. Touch the gas, backfires through intake.
When the car is hot (coolant is at least 180 degrees) it runs like a champ!
What do you think is wrong with it?

cts=coolant temperature sensor. Screwed into the intake manifold on the front of the car. Two wires going to it. You can ohm check it, or just get a new one for around $14.
Can't find the chart that specs out the cts!
