Jay,
I suggest cleaning your throttle body. Especially the IAC motor/solenoid
(whatever), and seat. Sounds like you're getting a carbon buildup.

Need some advice here guys.
I've a 97, 318 and no problems starting until just a few days ago. Lately
when I start it cold in the morning it will start, then stumble (spit,
sputter, etc. not touching gas pedal at all) for 2-3 seconds then run fine,
but it has never stalled. Doesn't do this at all restarting when warm,
starts perfect. Any ideas what could bring this on all of a sudden?

Thanks
~Jay
