strange stutter after 5 minutes 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Richard Langis Jr. on  Wed Oct 13 20:57 CST 1999 [RELATED]

When it's cold - or hasn't been run for an hour or two, after 5 minutes of running the car does a little stutter then runs fine from then on.

What it almost seems like is that there's a choke or something that disconnects after a certain amount of time and then it recovers.

If I turn it on and let it idle, you can hear it do the stutter-step...the idle drops 4-500 rpm and then just comes right back up. During acceleration it's more of a bucking as the car suddenly nearly dies and then gets back on the gas.

Any ideas? BTW my Bentley came in the mail today so now I can do proper diagnostics after I get SOME idea where the problem lies... ;)
