** SOLVED - Read through to find the solution (replacing KS with resistor) **
Hi all,
I have noticed this problem with my car (92 KA24DE) since the day I bought it... When the engine is cold, it will usually bog very heavily on WOT after shifting into second. It's noticeable enough that it throw you forward in the seat. I've dealt with it, but now it's just out of control...
For the last few days it's been overcast and cool (60s) in the mornings here. When I leave to drive to work, the engine DOES NOT want to rev on WOT between 3000 and 5000 RPM while driving! Sitting in nuetral the engine takes forever to rev and noticeably slows down between 3k and 5k. Everything on the car is stock, and since this only seems to happen when the engine is cold I think it might be a sensor loose or malfunctioning... It seems to go away after driving the car for 15-20 minutes; my commute to work is all city streets and only takes about 10-15 minutes.
The bog-after-shift-into-second will happen when I leave from work each day, but only seems to happen once.
If anyone has experienced this or has any suggestions, please let me know. I have replaced the plugs and fuel filter very recently (as soon as I got the car actually), so it's not either of those......
edit: it doesn't matter the temperature, hot or cold it still does this
