I've had this problem for years- when the motor is cold and I start it up, it runs for 10-15 sec and dies; On restart it runs forever, but if I pop the throttle it chokes down and almost dies till it gets warmer. Anyone experenced this??. Most all fuel/air parts have been replaced over the years.
Also, how long on avg should the ignition module last??. Car is 89lx 132k miles and still gets 30mpg on highway!!.Must have been built on a Wednesday!!
