1975 1.8L Ljet injection. Car is hard to start. It takes 3-4 tries and some time a shot of starting fluid. Fuel pressure gauge reads 30 lbs. in engine compartment. The rpm rises to 1800 rpm for about 15 seconds, then the idle hunts between 500 rpm and almost stalling out. After the engine warms up it runs and starts as normal. Vacuum hoses are tight. Comments?

Checked the AAR regulator with an ohm meter and it was right on at 30 ohms, valve was open when cold. The temp head sensor checked out at 280k. Sprayed some starter fluid around the intake runner hoses and the idle picked up. I am going to replace the hoses, intake gaskets and injector seals in a few days and see if that solves my problem. This problem started a month ago, before that it ran like a champ. Guess it's time for some tlc.
