hard cold start



okay, another problem with my 84karmann is when i try to start the car
when it is cold, it will start up and idle at 2k for a couple of seconds
but will die immediately after.  When i finally do get it to idle, at
around 400-500rpm, it will cough and sputter .  If i depress the
accelerator, nothing happens.  When i release the accelerator, idle will
go up and then back down.
  I disconnected the thermo time switch and it died immediately leading
me to believe the cold start valve is working.?.
  When it finally reaches a good operating temperature, idle will
suddenly increase to normal and smooth out.  Disconnecting thermo-time
switch makes no difference at this point.  Could this have something to
do with disconnected vaccuum hose i mentioned in earlier post?
