Could be the coolant temperature sensor(s).  These bad boys are responsible
for cold start enrichment, ignition timing and idle stabilization during
warmup.

After much work (and good info from the list), I finally got my '87 in
good working condition.  But of course it couldn't last. On a cold
morning, it will crank fairly easily on the first try.  But a couple of
times now I have stalled it pulling out of the driveway.  After it
stalls it will take a couple of minutes cranking before it will start
again.  Any ideas (other than not stalling it)?

Thanks,
Darren
