Clutch popping start up was at 40 mph in 5th. A nice easy 1200 rpms. I coughed, bucked and just seemed to object. Never a problem in other obd 1 cars I've owned in the past.
Using starter it didn't just add a couple of hundred rpms but more like 1k rpms.

If the ECU would assume a different setting after only about 30 seconds then I would think that is what is going on. Anyone have a get around for this?
