Default Rough starting b18c1

My 94 gsr motor starts up really hard. When I turn the key it sort of sputters, and if a press the gas when its still cold, the motor sounds like its chocking. After about <5 mins of idling, when it warms up, the problem goes away. Is this something to worry about??

Bad coolant sensor, lol its funny you say that because I've been getting a code 6, Engnie coolant Temperature sensor, and i've been trying to fix it. Plugs are new, so are the wires. The head has pretty much 0 miles on it. So i'll check that ect sensor... Thanx

fix the code 6 i think(i don't work for acura)the coolant censer is just a 2 wire on is the 12v to the censer and the other is signal wire so see if you have 12volts to one.to check the signal wire you have to do a continuity test from the terminal at the censer and the terminal to the computer unplug the computer first.so if you have 12v and good continuity it ether the censer or the computer replace the censer first.am i spelling censer rite it doesn't look rite.

I will have to try this as well. I'm throwing a CEL code 6 for the ECT sensor as well, and my car has been running kinda crappy. Oh, and it's spelled sensor. h:

anybody know the part # or have a pic of the ECT sensor? I know there are a couple different coolant sensors, so I want to make sure I order the right one.

So far I've replaced the sensor twice with good ones, and pinned it to the ecu, bypassing the harness just in case there was a short along somewhere and still the code remains. (I did reset the ecu, after, and still the code is there), someone plz help, this stupind car is driving me out of my mind...
