do you just start and go? warm it up before driving? when does it stop acting sluggish?

Not my 83 300D!
Worn engines can be sluggish when cold, and the ALDA/boost/linkage equipment out of adjustment contributes to the 0-5mph sluggishness.
A solid engine with attention paid to these areas will not exhibit these symptoms.
