Check your coolant temp sensor if it runs rough when it's cold.

Also check the connector itself, as that cracks and loses the clip, and is often responsible for the bad connection.

I had recently bought before a New OEM EFI Harness for my car,
The Ect Sensor was used.. even though my car lacks power the
acceleration is slow, maybe its normal for the N/A
