cold weather start, erratic idle for a few minutes 700 1987

The turbos tend to pump oil fumes into the intake system. Over time this will build up in the idle air control (IAC) valve. When it's cold the oil deposites are harder and gum up the IAC operation. Take the valve out and spray the heck out of it w/ brake cleaner until the valve mechanism frees up and starts flopping around. If your rubber turbo hoses air oily it means the turbo bypass valve is bad and this will further agrevate the problem and push oil fumes into the IAC gumming up the internal works and brush contacts.
