Default starting up car

im the morning or whenever i turn my car on i have to accelerate for a few seconds (or the car runs like ---- and dies out) after a few seconds of hitting the gas the turbo kick in and i release the gas and the engine runs fine with no problems ,i was wondering if it happens to everyone or maybe i have a leak or something that would cause this ?

if i turn it on it gets too much gas and drowns and dies out but if i rev it a little its fine i thought it might be that it needs to build press. in the charge pipes ? but it runs fine after that once in a while when i stop somewhere the idle will jump for about 5 sec then idles normal theres no performance problems just a little annoying

Mine does that too, 450's with a vafc2, runs great for a sec, then the a/f gague starts to stop bouncing around, then once it finally reaches fully rich on teh gauge, and stays there, it runs fine, wierd. I think im running to rich, and causing my o2 to ---- up, but once its hot, its fine, i dunno, i havent been able to drive it for 2 weeks now, block still isnt here, im dying!

no, i wanna figure it out, its sooo anoying, its missfires hardcore for about a minute or two, then i get a check engine light, which is a few codes, including o2 sensor, and map sensor, from waht i remember, so, its one of those two problems..

i've got the same problem, but not all the time, mainly if i run the car for a while and then shut it off for a few minuntes (go into a store or something). when i try to start it it acts likes it flooded. im running a fmu on DPFI . im not sure how much boost (no gauge)
