lack of power when shifting from 1st to 2nd

[maximus_pr]

Hello guys i'm new to this forum

recently bought a cheap AE92 to use it as my daily driver ,well the problems is car seems to lack power specially when shifting from 1st to 2nd it just drops rpms and start accelerating real slow

Previous owner told me he never ever did a tune ,could all that be related to the need of a tune up?

also is hard to start when cold or rested for more than 1 hour

automatic or manual?

[eberbs1]

fuel injection or carb?

[maximus_pr]

GTS
manual FI

I'm kind of suspecting it may be out of time,check engine light is on i check codes and so far i think is 12 and 14

also would like to know something, next to the block there are 2 temperature sensors side by side the one farther from engine is kind of brken

[eage8]

that is probably your problem. the ECU and the gauge cluster of different temperature sensors. if the ECU doesn't know what the engine temp is it'll inject the wrong amount of fuel and run poorly especially when it's cold.

so which sensor is the one i'm just mentioned it has a green connector i believe

I would just take the sensor into advance auto parts and ask them for one that looks like it for you car, all those temperature sensors have very similar names and it's hard to find the right one.

or you can go rockauto.com and order one.
is it this one?
