    car dies after fresh start, then runs fine

    just picked up another e30, on test drive it was fine. but on the 3rd pee break on my 7 hour trip home, whenever the car has a fresh start, it idles for about 10 seconds then dies always no matter what even if i try and gas it. but after it dies, it cranks right up and will idle fine.

    also on first starts it always turns over for about 3-5 seconds before it turns over(it always turns over) just takes a bit.



    most common things to check? i have a spare e30 sitting around now as well

    Fuel system? Maybe the check valve in the pump that holds pressure?
