So the car has been down for a little over a month as I slowly gathered enough funds to get it fixed. I had to replace my water pump as my old one was cracked and leaking a lot. After replacing the water pump I took it out for a spin. The car drives great, but there are a few problems.

1. It will randomly cut out as I am driving. When it cuts out I notice my temperature gauge will stop reading for a second. It seems like a ground could be loose.

2. When I start it up after it has had time to sit it will run like ****. It sounds really nasty and doesn't perform at all. After about 5 minutes it works itself in and sounds normal and runs normal.

If anyone could give me some insight to any of these problems I would greatly appreciate it. Let me know if you need more information about the car.
