time delayed accelerator response?

Ok,
this is a different phenomenon from that which one might experience when first driving a diesel....

When cold, the 85 300D experiences (just recently) a delay between the application of the accelerator and the response of the revving I expect. Much like a european symphony orchestra responds to a conductor, the revving seems to 'remember' what I've done, and follow it exactly a little bit after I've asked for it with the pedal.

Loose linkage? Why would this get better with warmth? Fuel filters almost new, and clear prefilter looks fine- very little air and no leaks. Again, this seems to not be a problem when warm- is it fuel flow related?

Thanks!!
Kevin
