2 Exhaust Questions and 1 Starting Question
I bought my 95' about a month ago and I noticed that it won't start unless I keep pressing my foot on the gas pedal and then it'll start. If I crank it the first time without giving it gas it wont start. The second time I crank it, it'll start up fine. Anybody know the reason behind this?
Also, under normal acceleration the car runs fine but then I pretty much lay my foot down hard on the gas it'll start to hesistate a little. I noticed underneath there is some sort of thermal wrap under the car which looks like it's wrapping the flex section. Could it be the o2 sensor in the catalytic converter not getting enought exhaust because there's a leak which is making it run rich?
Finally I went to order a Warpspeed y-pipe and they said they're not selling the Superflo for now because of leak issues. Anybody on here have the Superflo (the one with no flex section)?

When was the last time a tune up has been done?
hesitation could be clogged cat, coil packs.
Do you have a CEL?
