My '92 XT now has an irritating problem of running roughly and often stalling when warming up. It is fine when cold and the choke is out, fine when fully warm and the choke is in, but more often than not shortly after I put the choke fully in (and it is idling OK) it will struggle under part throttle, the revs will jump about by 3-400 and it will often cut out when the cars not moving. It always seems fine when accelerating hard. I've had this problem twice pulling off the motorway after a long distance cruise in cold weather too. Any suggestions?
205 problem when warm

Possibly a vacuum leak, my old 205XS had almost the same symptoms (minus the problem after long journeys) and it was a rotten vacuum hose coming off the intake manifold. Check all the relevent bits will hold a vacuum properly if you suck on the hoses.
