'94 GT, Manual, Bone Stock, Very Well Maintained.

here is the problem, short but sweet ...

if it is cold outside:
car begins to fire out of intake,
give it gas the backfire moves to exhaust,
barely moves forward while car bucks violently,
stalls,
restart and the same thing for a few more feet then stalls,
next startup the rpms skyrocket and upon dropping it runs as normal.
if I leave the car before 3 starts the cycle of exactly what I described starts over.

if car is in stop and go traffic:
eventually voltage drop (I assume that's a byproduct of loss of vacuum),
car bucks,
backfires out of exhaust and stalls,
restarts hard and with any gas fires out of intake,
runs for about a quarter mile no faster than 15mph then stalls,
restart and backfires out of exhaust then stalls,
upon 3rd start rpms spike then runs fine.

I have ideas such as vacuum leak and timing, but I don't understand how it could follow the exact same behavior every time. Weird.

any ideas??

Firing order and timing is what I'd check 1st. Just make sure they are 100% correct. Next plugs/gap.

When was the last time wires, plugs, cap/rotor were changed?

Have you pulled codes? the 94/95 GT's are OBD1 so don't try to use the OBD2 port under the dash.
With so many odd symptoms it's sounding the computer is fried. Ck the connections to it and make sure they're tight and secure..
