92 2.3 190e cold start

[kiwi_bloke]

hey all.

when starting my 190e cold it starts fine, idles for 2 seconds then hunts around varying about 300 rpm. Its fine when hot. This stops everytime after about 10 seconds.

Reving makes it worse.

Things ive tried.

swapping idle valve from mums car
cleaning the cold start injector
new leads
new plugs
played with mixture

ive been told the timing is to far advanced?
