The 8V is particularly sensitive to just about every component aspect of the engine. Any one can effect the other. Keeping it in the optimum tuned condition is the only way to avoid the problem you have. Besides the common tune-up issues such as spark plugs, cap and rotor: check for any and all vacuum leaks, be sure the auxilary valve is working (air can flow through when engine is cold), is the distributor base plate free to rotate? fuel injectors are spraying and not spitting? air filter clean?Another crucial component in the older 8V engine effecting idle on start-up is the oxygen sensor. Could also be a faulty ECU (electronic control unit) or any of the various electric connections that tie this system all up.
