I have a '92 740 non turbo with Regina FI. Auto trans. This problem has been creeping up on me for months and has morphed over time into the present state, which I describe: It takes 3-5 cranks to start from cold. Often, it will die idling once or twice. If I'm lucky, I can limp away after starting, in 1st gear but only reach 2000 rpm. As soon as the temp gauge gets normal, it will then go over 2000, and I can change up. Alternatively, I can let it idle and warm up first. When warm (or any time) it will not pull below 2000, you have to nurse the throttle and gently coax it over 2000, then it will drive almost normally, but a bit down on power. I have to use the gears manually to get away from rest. Ignition seems good, wires are new. What should I logically check, and in what order ? It would seem that fuel supply is OK as I can eventually reach normal cruising speed. But full throttle does not give the feeling of full power. Any advice appreciated!
