740 Difficult to start unless gas used.

Hi.

740, 2ltr injection. (1988)

Had lots of work done including injector seals and it runs alot smoother now when ideling, although still a little rough.

When i first start it in the morning it tries to fire and cuts out, it will start when the accellerator pressed the revs held above 1000 after a few seconds it will idle as normal and drive without any issues.

Any ideas what this could be? Its almost like a choke problem you would get on a carb.

Many thanks
James
