Re: Car runs like super crap until it gets warmed up.
Do you have any cracks in the intake? Is the VAF connected. I don't know if it will run after it warms up without the VAF, but sounds kinda like how mine ran when I forgot to hook VAF up.

Maybe a head gasket problem that seals when it is warmed up? I'm just throwing out ideas not trying to scare you.

Re: Car runs like super crap until it gets warmed up.
keep me updated, i have the exact same problem - but I suspect ot to be the coolant temp sensor near the IM, because hwen I plug it in , and un-plug it , it does absolutely nothing

Instead of the CEL, you can connect an LED between FEN and GND in the diag box, to read the codes.
