Delayed starts: '90 200

["scott miller" <macatawa@hotmail.com>]

Help?  '90 200tq wagon, acquired three weeks ago, in need of much time 
and money.

My mechanic, very experienced and Audi trained, tells me my one to two 
seconds of cranking is normal for a turbo.  Something to do with the 
long intake runner and lifting the throttle plate....  I'm not 
convinced, it couldn't have been this way new, and I'm concerned about 
the starter wearing out.  It runs great once started, but the idle 
varies up to 2.8k, I haven't looked at the stabilizer valve yet.  It 
does this hot or cold.  I once cleaned the throttle plate on a Synchro 
by spraying carb cleaner through it, and got better starting, could it 
be that simple?  Bleeding injector or check valve?  My Bently manual is 
on order, and Stabilant is on it's way, so I'll become more familiar 
with all the new plumbing and gadgets my Synchros didn't have, soon.

Thanks,
