Car in question is a 1991 740 Turbo sedan with 182K
This problem just started happening. The car is not a daily driver but does get driven from time to time.
When the car has sat overnight or all day it's very hard to start. It cranks and wants to turn over but wont unless I have my foot on the gas. Then when it does start, it sounds like something is squealing or rattling as the idle is erratic (all with my foot on the gas or it will stall) until after maybe 10-20 seconds it figurers it all out and settles down, I take my foot off the gas and it idles fine and then runs and drives no problem.
It will start right up after I drive it a bit without having those initial start problems.
I think this battery is a bit tired but I'm not sure if that would cause this behavior.
I've done some research and cant find any potential answers. Car has fresh gas in it and has new plug and a new ignition control module (which was the cause of no start at all a few weeks ago)
Thanks for any help!
