Well, I don't think they are any more hight maintenance than other cars on
the road.

 I would just like to know what to check first with my lost

First thing that would help you now and in the future would be to buy the
Bentley manual.  These things are great.  If you can's afford/don't want to
spend that much then there are some floating around on eBay often.  
According to Bentley it could be:
air leaks-how are you injector o-rings?
injector nozzles not delivering uniform quantities- while checking these
you can check your o-rings
fuel distributor faulty-uggh hope not
cold start valve leaking-pull it off when engine is warm(and running)
shouldn't be anything coming out
"engine warm"control pressure incorrect-let's hold off on this one 
idle mixture incorrectly adjusted- do you have a long 3mm hex wrench?
and as was mentioned earlier, timing could be a problem-do you have, and
know, how to use one?
If you have any questions on the procedures to do these just email back.  I
personally would check the timing and mixture, but the o-rings could
definately be a problem, as they often are when they get old.
