You either have a fuel or spark problem. I'll assume the car is fully tuned up. Let's assume fuel. If the car is slow to start, after sitting, summer&winter then you have a fuel pressure problem (residual pressure). It takes a while for the fuel pressure to come up to 60-70psi. Its either a slow leak or fast. Check Bentley's please. If the problem is cold related, then you have a cold start enrichment problem (choke). The car starts ok after its warm? The obvious is a vacuum leak, which is leaning out the mixture. Look at the fender diagram, it will show you where to look for hoses and components. Check the hoses and the diaphams at the end of the hoses. After this the problems are many and numerous. Get a Bentley's($47+/-vendors here), a MityVac brake bleeder/vacuum tester($29+-/-Checker, etc.), CIS fuel pressure tester($57 JCWhitney's) and go to town. You have an old car with a simple mechanical fuel injection system. Its like a grandmother, she needs TLC.
Good luck,
Ed S, 1988 900 NA8V
