Default Starting Issues

So for the longest time ever since I bought my SN95 it's had troubles starting up every morning, its gotten progressively better over the past couple months, go back a few 3 months ago it would have stalled 3 times after starting before it started and stayed on, so fast forward to now It's starting without stalling but i have to rev the engine up for a little bit before the car actually gets any power, like today, I left for school 15 minutes early to try and see if i could just let it sit and idle and warm up and run fine but it didn't work, after i waited the 15 minutes i tried going and put the car into reverse and i had to rev it up to 3,000-3,500 RPM before it started going anywhere, same story when I put it into first gear, has anybody had this issue, if so have you been able to fix it? What did you do to fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

(P.S. I live in Florida it's anywhere from low 60's to upper 70's and still has this issue, unless its been sitting in the sun for a couple hours)

Finally got around to checking the grounds, got new ones because the old ones were looking really funky and still no luck, any other suggestions?

CEL on?

Also check you rear brakes to see if they are bound up. If they are you will probably need the caliper brackets or slider pins replaced.

I am starting to hate this mobile app.
