I have a 97 acura cl 3.0. My car runs fine after the engine warm up from driving. The problem that I am having here is when I drive the car from a cold start the car lurched forward really hard when I step on the gas pedal to drive. Has anyone had that experience with they're car lurching forward really hard when you try to drive it from cold start? If so, please tell me how do I go about to find out what's causing it to lurched forward like that, Thank you!

Check wires. Mainly the battery wires. then work your way out. Start the car up and start shaking wires until it stops. If that doesnt work, then get a mechanic to look.
unless the car is at operating temperature , the engine rpms on start is hiogher the at run as the ECM has a higer setting for idle ( like having a choke out a bit ) until the engine checks are done and then it settles back
best run the fault codes to check for faulty sensors
i cannot specifically point out what the problem might be, but an overheating car---never a good thing. check everything related to cooling. fans, radiator, hoses, waterpump, coolant overflow tank(see if its got a brownish color or looks like there is oil), and check your oil while your at it...
Could be the ignition switch, if the green key light is flashing then the issue is the switch. There was a recall issued for the ignition switch for this car back in 03 for the 97 to 99 Acura CL.
