My clean 1988 760 wagon (119.5K) has developed a stumbling idle. It also does not choke when started. Idle is constant around 750, though you have to nurse it until it warms up. Past idle it runs out fine. The computer water sensor and the TPS were changed at about 110K, much work was done at this time, distributer was rebuilt. New rotor and cap at 106.5K, I just put a new air filter in it, cleaned the AMM, removed and cleaned the throttle body with new gasket, Sea Foam FI cleaner. This caused it to run smoother, except I still have that nagging stumbling curb idle plus it does not choke out when you start it cold.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Bill
