1990 240 DL 5 Speed wagon

Ok - runs fine except sometimes I will start up it sounds rough and if I don't give some gas - keep pumping - it will die.

It happens after I have driven for a while or if I park it and later start it up. So the temp does not seem to be an issue.

I will putz along at about 5 miles an hour ( if that ) and keep punching the peddle to keep it from stalling out. Then after about less than a minute it kicks in and takes off like a rocket and rides just fine.

Battery is strong - it's brand new - and always restarts.

Weird. I never know when it is going to happen.
