my car will not idle when its cold. I'm getting sick of waiting for the car to warm up for it to idle.? also when i start it up it sounds like its not running on all cylinders? kinda like each cylinder is firing up one at a time.Then when u give it gas it bogs down for a sec and then gos up and then gos right back down and stalls?

Most older cars do this. You have to wait till it warms up to run properly. Now mine doesnt sound like it has a firing issue but when it warms up it runs great.
I usually wait till my temp guage reads on the cold line it usually takes about 5 min to warm up in the cold and about 2 min to warm up during the day.
Id also check the plugs if I were you.
Is your CSI plugged in?
Also check the intake if theres like a crack or hole somewhere that might also be the reason why your car sounds like it bogs when you push the accelerator.

I've noticed your posts often contain nonsense but that one takes the cake. I sure hope you're kidding about it...
i think you should check your ecu temp sensor. its the sensor on the thermostat housing usually it has a green plug. form what i understand the car will crank but runs like shit until it warms up. also check to see if you have any intake leaks in front of the turbo.
