Well heres what i have narrowed it down to
ive checked hoses(so no vac leak have taken apart hoses did smoke method no wear n tear so no leak) Engine Health(as far as compression goes it was in good shape when i bought it and it runs perfectly fine when accelerating and no jerking or bogging) VVTI soleniod( not the problem I feel it doing its work when i go past 4k from gears 1-4) Maf sensor(cleaned and even replaced with a better one from a beams) Fuel wise(since i live here in California ive only seen 91 which is the recommended though i believe it should be 95 ron) Coolant temp sensor(tried one from a toyota echo 2000 since they are identical all it did was make the temp reading higher) ECU(as far as it goes all has worked fine i tried a different one and same song and dance) TPS(tried many from changing to three throttle bodies still not probable issue) Spark Plugs(changed the iridium ngks which were fine no burns or wet and replaced with double platinum denso) Idle Air Control Valve (went from cleaning to replacing with a 01 civic one since they are nearly identical its new as well so it works) Fuel filter(was old and replaced with a new one still not the solution) Intake air temperature( was suggested i clean it which i did checked its rubber seals no brittle or tears) Wiring(before i had a bad surge issue but i was due to the iscv not being grounded and wired properly additionally most of the wires werent soldered like they were supposed to as far it goes im still having the wiring looked at maybe i missed something) with all that said i honestly im thinking its either a gasket or seal from somewhere( ive been told gasket and seals tend to expand with heat when reached at a certain temperature and based on how my car has acted i can somewhat believe it) or its a fuel related issue so next would be to check fuel injectors and fuel pressure regulator as well as fuel pump(from my GT, been told its ok to run it though not sure) with all that said im not sure why my car only acts up during cold start, to be smelling rich and immediately stalling after turning on and for it to run normal once engine has reached a warm temperature which leads me to believe its the two options i have just mention but thats just me after all mentioned any ideas guys??
