I have got a SAAB 9000-91 w/o turbo. Recently it has started having the following bad behaviour when the weather is cold and it has been unused for several hours: It starts OK and I can drive away with it but if in the first minute or so after starting I stop for eg a traffic light, release the accelerator and then push it down again there is no response! The car just moves very slowly like if I had not pushed the accelerator at all and was running on idle. After something like 10 (very long) seconds it suddenly starts working like it should. The service people have confirmed the problem but they could not solve it. Any ideas? Note: If I let the car run on idle for something like a minute then there is no problem.
