My 1985 300TD wagon has strange symptoms. It seems to fire well in cold weather but goes immediately into a low throb. I can neither make it come up to idle with the pedal or keep it running. Basically, the car is not going to start lower than 30 degrees.

1. I've backed out the rack pin
2. I've adjusted the valves
3. I've given it a purge
4. I've cleaned the banjo
5. The car runs out well
6. The car uses 1/2 quart of oil only per 3k, so I don't feel its compression.

Of the following (or other ideas, what would you recommend first)

1. Injectors?
2. Timing stretch and therefore timing issues?
3. others?

Thanks

Don
