'84 244 GL Trouble Starting Cold

Post by time »

First, my volvo doesn't want to start after it sets overnight. I usually have to hold the gas pedal down to 2,000 rpm's to get it to idle without going dead. Then, once I get it to idle, it takes awhile (3 minutes) to plane out. The only way I know how to explain it is that it revs up a 1,000 rpm's and comes back down, per second until it planes out at around 1,800. What can I do to fix this cold start problem? BTW- It starts and idles fine after it's warmed up.

Thanks,
Nick

Probably needs the cold start injector replaced, these are a common trouble.
