So i just got a 95 eclipse gs automatic and it is running horrible. When you first start it in the morning it will barely idle and it will only rev to 1500- 2000 rpm. As it warms up you can rev it up higher and when its warmed all the way up it will go all the way to redline. I hooked up the scanner at my school and the fuel trims are way off (-18 to -24 ) no cel at all idles like crap, bad gas mileage. Need help thank you

Also check what the ECU coolant temp is reading, should be ambient or near.
When the go bad ( like reading -40 or the like ) you get a ton of extra fuel.
