either in the mornings or when it(81 280zx) has sat for a while, it is hard to start. when i crank it up it will jump to 750-1000 rpm but then if u give it gas it(like trying to go from a stop) dies. but if i give it gas slowly and work it up to 3000 rpm and hold it there for about 30-45 seconds, it is good to go. the whole process takes only about 2 mins but it can be annoying and embrassing. when i am working it up to the 3000 mark it pops or backfires through the airbox. i was told that this could be the cold start valve. does it need to be replaced or could it be timin or what. also this morning i noticed a little water or something on the ground just below the tail pipe(i have a turndown tip) and occasionally there is some smoke but not always.
kinda off subject but this is especially embrassing when your out on a date with a new girl and she laughs when you have to put up with all the popping and stuff like that.
any insight on this problem would be great. is this a serious problem.
