My character needs to teleport back before he can float, how do I fix that?

So currently, hitting/holding Z teleports him back to where he started the level at, then he floats from there, no matter where hes at in the level, he always teleports back to that spot then he floats. He is supposed to be able to float no matter where his current position is in the level.

The Z key is not actually part of the start method, its in its own section

   void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        //Set a starting velocity when our Game Starts (Set x to 1 for moving Right and -1 for moving Left)
        Vector3 DefaultVelocity = new Vector3(1 * spead, 0, 0);
        rb.velocity = DefaultVelocity;
        moveDir = spead;
       
        originalPos = new Vector3(gameObject.transform.position.x, gameObject.transform.position.y, gameObject.transform.position.z);

        rend = GetComponent<Renderer>();
        rend.enabled = true;

       
        //THIS IS IN OUR FLOATING SECTION
        tempPoisition = transform.position;  //uses the transform in the object's inspector.  position uses x, ys and z. to use the current position. so no matter where it starts, it will always be correct

   //CODING THE Z KEY TO FLOAT
        if ((Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightArrow)) && isGrounded && Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Z))
        
           {

                tempPoisition.x += horizontalSpeed;
                tempPoisition.y += verticalSpeed = Mathf.Sin(Time.realtimeSinceStartup * verticalSpeed) * amplitude;
                transform.position = tempPoisition; //apply x and y to current position

You have an equals in your tempPosition.y += line, so your y value is most likely being set directly to your Sin function.

Chaging it to a + should help.
