cold start

[Brendan Rudack <rudack@ucsub.colorado.edu>]

When I initially start my car(1988 90 Q)  it will idle rough for a second 
and then die.  Second try leads to a bit of roughness and then a steady idle.
Is there some sort of cold start valve that wore out?  The car has 120K 
miles on the odo.  

Thanks, Brendan Rudack
