Possibly a Malfunctioning Idle Air Control Valve or Controller ~ UnPlug both, Spray Connections with Electrical Contact Cleaner
& RePlug ~ Do the Same with the ECU Connector ~ If it has been awhile since AllGrounds have been Cleaned, Clean Them ~ Is Your
Exhaust System Pretty Cruddy Looking ~ It is the Ground that the O2Snsr Relies on ~ I like to Add a Ground Wire from the O2Snsr
Body to a Good Body/Frame Ground just to be sure ~

I would test for this by pulling each pair of injectors out of the intake without disconnecting the hoses or wires and using a container to catch any drips, pressurize the system by turning the key a couple of times.

>>> I'm trying to figure out this recent running issue on my 1988 Westy with a 2.2 engine. I start the engine and it runs fine. Drive for awhile then shut it done for less than a minute and it runs like it is flooded. On restarting I'll sit there and raise the idle to about 2000 rpms until it clears out 15-20 seconds. After that it runs perfect.
