I have a similar / related problem with an 1992 850 GLT. I always avoid starting it and then stopping it before it has chance to warm up or else it is hard to start the next time I come to it. It will also run very rough for a while - missing on some cylinders and refusing to idle. It is not too bad at higher revs. I am told that it may be to do with sticky valves that are not closing properly that could be related to using poor quality oil. However I have always used high quality synthetic in it - so I am not sure about that. Any ideas?
