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

Subject: Starting problem

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
