that would be injected.

the rough warm up might not be much of a problem. my 500 (basically the same as a 380), does that a lot. my indie tested this and that and we replaced a few minor parts and it never has quit. but it never has gotten worse either. a friend who used to work at the benz dealer back when these were new said "always crack the throttle a little when starting them". since i do that it is a lot better.

as i remember this style of injection has been a little shaggy on warm start ups in certain conditions since they were new.
