My 82 300CD-T takes a few cranks to spark up when cold, which doesn't strike me as strange, but it sometimes stalls after starting. I don't have any scientific evidence, but it seems to happen when the car has been sitting in the sun for a while, rather than when it's cold out. It also seems to be more likely to stall after I put the car in gear, rather than in park. It's not a constant problem, but I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on where to start looking. On a possibly related note, the car does not shut off cleanly, but rather sputters to a stop after the key is removed.
