Subject:      frequent stalling at startup.. hot or cold...
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1

Hi,

My 87 syncro has been stalling quite often right after it starts.. doesnt
seem to matter if the engine is hot or cold, and doesnt happen every time.
 It basically acts like it is not getting any fuel, stutters and loses
power, the dies.

All I have to do to get it go after the stall is simply turn the ignition
off, then back on... and im on my way, running fine.  Sometimes it
requires two re-starts.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

jg
