Evening People. I was given this car by my son and am trying to sort it out. A blessing.
The car starts perfectly (with a tiny misfire) when cold. Once hot and left for a while, she needs to be turned over for 15 - 20 seconds before she starts and runs on a few cylinders until she is in the mood - perhaps 5 seconds.
She is idling at 1200 rpm, and a minor hesitance as I accelerate from standstill.
Any suggestions?

Hallo, might be the vanos that is dirty or the seal on vanos that is worn/hard. Best to remove, clean out and replace seals, might solve the problem.
