Hi
My Toyota premio a 2004 model new shape has a peculiar starting Problem.if you start it after it has cooled and you don’t give it time to warm up normally around 2minutes and you just drive immediately the acceleration gives no power but only noise in the engine. However if you give it time to warm up this doesn’t happen because as you accelerate you feel the car gaining power. I changed the plugs, air cleaner ,oil and ATF but the behavior is the same. What could be the problem.
