'90 760T Coldstart Idle 700 1990

Hello, all.

I've read through the RWD FAQ, and still don't have a good idea of what my problem might be...

90 760T with 210K miles, recently developed cold-start idle problem. Will idle, but putting into gear drops it to the point it wants to die - a slight push of the accelerator will keep it going. By the time I'm out of the driveway, idle is fine.

If the AC is engaged on cold-start, the engine will die. Engaging AC after warmup = all is well.

Recent maintenance: All vacuum hoses checked/replaced; TB cleaned; new plugs, wires; TPS replaced; both H20 temp sensors replaced.

Ideas? In responding, please keep in mind that I only have the Haynes (crap!), so any additional procedural info is *greatly* appreciated.

Thank goodness for this forum!!

Cheers,
