Odd stumble, what's up with this? 700

1990 740 Turbo Wagon, here's what it's doing. I start it up, engine is cold, and back it out of the garage, put it in drive, go up the street about 75-100 yards, everything is fine so far. Then, at about 100 yards, it stumbles as if it's stalling or fuel-starved for about 5-6 seconds, then "catches" and accelerates just fine. Never stumbles or misses again. So what is this?

Plugs/wires been replaced recently, had no effect.

Anybody point me in a direction here?

    Clean the throttle body and adjust the throttle position switch per the FAQ. While you have the thtottle body out, it is also a good idea to clean the idle air control valve.

    Good Luck,

    Dan
