This is a common occurrence as these gas engines with Bosch C.I.S. fuel injection age. Most of them are now at least 20 + years old. The problem goes something like this. You start the engine cold and it will hardly run. It runs rough and idles very low and will even quit a few times. You may also notice that your ABS light comes on. After the engine warms up idle speed will increase and the engine may smooth out (although acceleration may have some hesitation until the engine gets real hot. But, the ABS light may continue to stay on while driving and you may experience a pulsing pedal when you stop (not always).
