stalls on start and brake work 700 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be me on  Sat Nov 14 13:34 CST 1998 [RELATED]

Hi, I have a 1985 740 GLE and every morning when I start my car it will stall approx. 3 times before leaving the driveway. After this it works fine, and if I park the car and then come back a while later it starts right up and is fine. It just seems to have a problem when its been sitting a while, ie overnight and getting to leaving for work(8 to 5). Any ideas on what could be causing this? It has new Bosch platinum plugs as well as new ignition wires. And this problem occurs regardless of the temperature both summer and winter in upstate NY.

Also in the near future I will be getting new brake pads put on. Should I go with a particular type? Should I stay away from any? Also is it imperative to go to a volvo service dept. or would pep-boys or monroe be fine?

thanks in advance.
