Idle @ starting problem 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Mad Finn on  Sat May 15 05:03 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I've got a 1991 940 GLE w/254K/. When I start the car, it immediately stalls unless I give it some gas. It doesn't matter if the car is cold or has been driven a while. But if I give it some gas (just enough to keep it at idle speed) for about 30 seconds, then release the gas, it stays running and runs fine. Within the past few months I've replaced the plugs, cap, rotor, fuel filter, air filter, and crank sensor, so it isn't one of those, and today I gave the throttle body and all associated linkage a good cleaning, so its not that either. Any ideas on what else to check?

Thanks
