745T maybe yes/maybe no.... 700

Just purchased a 91 745T w/149k miles. Books and last 4 yrs records.

Sometimes on startup, it will start on 2nd or 3rd crank and settle in to a low idle (500) rpm and run fine. Other times it will fire, run, then immediately die. This is remedied by the 2nd or 3rd try with a little help from the throttle. This has been going on since Monday (day of purchase). Ambient temp. nor hot/cold engine affect this gremlin, happens whenever it wants.

Not a HUGE deal, but could it be a simple idle adjustment or something I could try?

Other than that, car is a solid dream. Everything works except the pass. window switch is reversed. (Goes up when you press it down visa/versa) Seems to run perfectly.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
