Ok as the title says the car wont hardly start when its warm you have to hold it wide open to get it to fire and then it spits and spudders like its trying to find idle. Once it does find idle it runs and drive like normal. I can't tell if there is any power loss yet because I can't drive the car very far. The temp gauge has also quit working at the same time this all started. Some times you can get it to work after letting it set for about thirty seconds, and then it will just drop. This all started today when I had to charge the battery

heres a run down for those who wont read the whole thing

-car spits and sputters when warm
-temp gauge will not work
-car has sit for a couple months
-charged battery to start today
-swaped temp sending unit from my truck for test still same problem
-both fans spinning when I start the car

Thanks for any suggestions

the wire was pinched where it went in to the computer. The plastic cover that goes over the wires had pinched it. I guess I didnt see it when I was removing the shift light from the car
