Weird sound on start, then run rough. 200 1982

Heya John,

I've got an 81 245 GL, and I've had the exact same thing happen to me. Just because it's fuel injected doesn't mean it can't backfire. When you get a chance to check it again, take a good look at the hoses. There's a fixture that bolts on to the valve cover that sort of sits between it and the injector manifold. It has a couple larger diameter hoses that run on to it, one from above and one from below. When your exact situation happened to me, the bottom hose had blown loose due to a backfire (where was the backfire? good question... and one I don't know the answer to). I wish I had a digital camera tto take a pic...

Anyways, hope that helps.
