Hi all,

I have a 1993 850 GLT that has been sitting for the past five
[winter] months.  It was started every two weeks or so, and
taken on a short drive once a month, but that's it.  I've started
to drive it again... once a day, up the road 2 miles to the
convenience store.  When it is cold, it starts up perfectly.  But
when I come out from the convenience store and try to restart
it, it doesn't want to start.  It will turn over for 5-7 seconds
without seeming to fire, then sometimes it will start to fireup,
but I have to give it just the right amount of gas at the right
moment and then keep the revs up.  I have to be carefull not to
let the revs drop on the way home or it will stall and then be even
harder to start.  So far I've been lucky.

Does this ring any bells with someone?  Might things improve
once I've polished off the old tank of gas?  I'd like to take it
for a good long drive on the highway, or to the dealer, but I'm
not sure how it would act.
