240 Stalling with Gas + Not Starting Well
Hey everybody. Hoping the Borg mind can help out with a recent problem that's come up with our '92 240.
A couple days ago, the car started fine, but immediately started running erratically, feeling like it was about to stall out at lower speeds and then, whenever I gave it a lot of gas, it would stall out or nearly stall out.
Then, after about 5 minutes of driving and then stopping the car, it took about 15-20 seconds of turning over to start.
After 10-15 minutes of driving, all seemed fine and it started totally fine after that a little later that day.
Next day, same issue—takes a lot to start, stalls when I press down on the gas a lot/suddenly from low gear.
Not sure if it has anything to do with it, but we live in Los Angeles and it's just now started to get "cold", with our first chilly day same day this started happening, on Monday.
Not sure if it's the air intake or a fuel injection issue or what, but any shared wisdom would be much appreciated.

Thank you. I'm pretty novice to all of this. Any chance you can point somewhere online that would walk me through that?
