Periodic knocking after cold start

Hi
Today my '87 8-valve Turbo started knocking weirdly after cold start. The engine cranked over and started normally, then after 20-30 seconds of idling the knocking commenced, with a sound out the exhaust as if a cylinder was missing and a slight smell of gas. Then after about three minutes idling at approx. 800 rpm the knocking gradually disappears (in an on-off fashion), then normal idling but at 1300 rpm(!). When driving there is no indication of trouble whatsoever. The same process repeated itself after cool-down, ambient temperature today was about 4 degrees celsius.
My car has the C-Jetronic injection system and thus virtually no electronics. I was thinking about the knock sensor being the culprit, but could a defective unit possibly cause the smell of gas out the exhaust?
I'd be very appreciative of any tips, I'm not very good at diagnosing the engine myself...
Best regards Jimmy S.
student, Norway
