i searched this as much as i could. I came close a few times but not quite.
d16z6 in a 91 crx hf.
currently having code issues: 1,6,7 (o2, tps, water temp sensor)
When the car is started onb a cold morning, or started after its sat for a while cooled down basically wether or not its a cold *** day, it gives me serious hell!
i turn the key and it cranks trying to start but doesnt for a few seconds. i stop, try again and it starts, but sputters and dies (the idles surges a little and its sputtering). Have to start it a 3rd time and work the gas into it to get it running a little better to keep it from dying. However sometimes giving it gas kills its. Once i can give it gas withoput it dying i rev it a few times and keep it in a high rev a few seconds. Then i liet it idle and it it idles just fine. But when driving for a few min after doing this before warmed up, it feels sluggish and bogs once i shift and accelerate until its warmed up. when the car is wearm it run just great.
I understand cold start issues, but dman this is hell and not normal. Is it related to my codes? (tried fixing these but no luck, and not much from H-T on it either)
is it the starter? alternator (replaced a few weeks ago, had to wire it for a diff plug too) something else? any and/or all suggestiong would be GREATLY apprieiciated.
if i cant get enough probs fixed im going to buy a car from the dark side

the water lines are running right. The car only bogs for a few minutes then its fine. Ive had tps troubles before when i accidentally knocked the plug loose and drove for a day with the car running like crap. plugged it bac kit and it was fine. But why my ecu is complaining to me about it...im out of ideas.
bad ground? which could it be? (may be a stupid question on my part)

Check all your grounds again just to make sure.
Your tps sensor may be taking a **** on you try getting a new throttle body to see if it getsrid of your tps code
