Temp 2 sensor, vacuum leaks, clogged/fouled injectors, excessive
deposits on back of intake valves, or engine compression problem.

Subject: 86 GL, Rough Idle cold

I have a new problem that has been growing over time.
The Idle is rough when she is first started, and smooths out once she
has
warmed up a bit. Like about 5 minutes. if I try to drive before then,
she
can stall, or act jumpy and doggy. When she is cold, if I can coax it up
to about 2K RPM while driving, she runs smooth and cruises, but it can
be
bumpy getting there.

Any Ideas?
