    Hi all,

    Wife's 90 model 740 having trouble starting and running after it does
    start. It's the standard 230 motor. When you do get it started it falls on
    it's face when idling. Restarts and dies again. Restart and if it does keep
    running it is pulsing between 6 and 8 hundred rpm and putting off some
    pretty funky fumes out the exhaust pipe. After it warms up it runs good,
    idling down normal at stop lights and signs. But if you turn it off and try
    and restart warm it might not start for you.

    Thanks for your help,
    Bruce

    Could be the retainer seal between the injection and the engine and/or
    the o-rings on the injectors. Inexpensive stuff.

    Good luck!

    I'm told it can also be a sticky air intake valve (butterfly-type) just
    before the intake manifold. Often can be cleaned with good results.
