93 SW2 running extremely rough until warmed up.

checked tps, good checked cts. good i know it has a vacuum leak somewhere but that shouldnt be the issue here i dont think. sometimes it doesn't run rough at all during startup, but most of the time i cant put it in gear without it dying, runs fine once its warmed up. i think it could be that its not getting enough fuel for the warming up proccess, which needs to be rich, and once it leans out its getting sufficiant fuel. could a saturn technician help me please. TIA Mike

Check out the coolant temp sensor - the one that send temp info to the PCM (not to the temp gauge). If the PCM thinks the engine is already warm, it won't give it the added fuel it needs when it is cold. This is not an uncommon problem to come across, and a fairly cheap and easy fix.

Just take it to your local (NOT Saturn) garage and they should check it for free. The dealer will check it for $75.
