Hey Zilvia, I have been having troubles with my car for the past few months but now it has just become unreliable. So to start things off the car is a 1996 S14 5 speed motor wise the car is all stock (KA24DE). The problem is you have to crank the car for at least 5 seconds while being on the throttle to get it started. It has a very rough idle and does not want to stay on. If you try to rev the car it will bog out. Recently the problem has gotten much worse half the time the car wont even start. When im driving around town the car has alot of short cuts in power usually around the 40-60 km/h range, While coming to a stop you have to put the clutch in and be revving the car to keep it on. Also on deceleration the car pops and backfires a ton im not sure if this is normal for a stock KA. It is definitely running rich as the plugs are completely black. Also if the car stalls out you have to just give it about 10-15 minutes of it sitting there for it to start back up. Only thing I have changed so far is the Coolant Temp Sensor and about 3 sets of plugs.

Please help me get this thing back on the road. Let me know if you guys have any questions, thanks in advance!
