126 300se warm-up question

Hi all,

Have a question. 90 300se - is MUCH faster off the line (much more power) when first starting out in the morning. After motor is becoming warm (temp gauge is between 50 and 80C) there is a hesitation. After car is fully warmed up, everything is smooth, but engine is not as fast as it is when it first started.

I hope this is not confusing. I have seen 2 posts with this same question in the past, and neither recieved a reply.

O2 sensor is new. Mileage at 20mpg. Car starts cery easily. Valve job done 20k ago. Getting 50% flucuation at warm idle.

Mystery...any ideas?

Mike
