I honestly think there is something more to this than just 2nd gear start. If you notice, the car is sluggish and hten has a neck snapping shift to 2nd, which would mean that it is being sluggish in first gear. My car does that as well. Its a 92, so it has 1st gear start. Its off the line performance is totally random. Sometimes it will just refuse to accelerate at WOT, and othertimes I have a hard time keeping the thing from spinning the rears. It has been liks since I have been driving it, and I really can't figure out what would be causing it.
