Engine Stall 200 1983

Hi all,

Having a couple different driving issues that i think are strongly correlated if not the same thing.

First one is that the car will stall out as I'm leaving in the morning for work. When i first turn the key, the idle holds steady at about 1000 rpm. After about 30 seconds, it starts to drop off, the computer tries to compensate, and it ultimately stalls out. Very annoying as I have to leave the moment i start up.

The second one is a lack of responsiveness to gas pedal. This only occurs as I pull out of the driveway, and in the first few minutes of driving. After this, acceleration resumes to normal.

Critical thing here is that neither problem occurs once the engine is warmed up - accelerating and idling both return to normal. What are some causes for poor idling and acceleration on a cold engine?

Thanks,
Aidan
