Struggling to start begin with temp 2 sensor. Then look at injector spray patterns including making sure they are not leaking.

Engine cold or cool, struggles to start. Continue cranking, two cylinder online, then three, then all four. It coughs, sputters as if clearing ones throat. Rev the engine just a bit one time, then all is fine.  But on any stop, even though the engine idles smoothly, upon acceleration, I have to lead the clutch with a little bit of throttle to rev the engine or it bogs as if a cylinder has dropped out, but with that tiny goose of the throttle, the cylinder catches and  away it goes like there is no  tomorrow.

I have not been able to pin this down. Is it a bad injector or bad plug?

Suggestions?  Swapping out parts is a poor way to go about fixing a problem but it may come to that!

Thanks,

John
