Subject:Why am I stalling?
From:David Dempsey
Date:Sat, 13 Sep 1997 11:40:54 -0500

Hello-

Upon starting my '87 Syncro it immediately stalls.  I have to give it a
little gas for 2-3 min. before it idles smooth.  When warm, it has no
trouble idling at 1000 rpm.  Any suggestions on the cause/fix to this
problem.

Background:     187K+, entire exhaust just replaced, coolant leak from
                stripped head bolt.

thanks,
