89 740 GL, my tempramental car.

Ive been through so many parts with this car. I don't know what else to do. Ive changed plugs, wires, cap, fuel relays, computers, fuel pumps, CIV units, mass air flow units, etc. The car will not start consisatantly. I went out this morning and turned the key, nothing...just cranked and cranked. I went in for a smoke came out and the car started right up. It seems when it is running I need to carfully and slowly back my foot off the gas so it will idle and not stall. I usually have to use ether to start it. There are times when that doesn't even work. The only solid peice of info I have is that the cold start injector is not firing, there seems to be no voltage to the plug going to it. I tried changing the thermal temp. switch to no avail. Please help.
