Ok guys, it can be so simple.

After I got all these good answers on this warmup problem, like

> I've got new vacuum hoses on order and hope that this does something.
from Derek, and

> I did not do this but found a way to bypass the system with a timer that
> gave me 80-90 seconds of cold start injector after start. Now no
> problems. e-mail me directly if you want greater detail.

As well as this good advice:
> After some thought, here's what I did:
> Took about 4 ice cubes and mashed them against the warmup regulator for
> about 5 minutes .(to simulate cold conditions)
> Then started car:  Started fine, idled even, just like it does in cold
> weather. Advice from others confirmed. Soooo, I figure it has to be the 
> warmup regulator, which I'm going to replace.

(thanks to all of you), I just couldnīt sit still in my room, right? So I 
went out to my car and checked the 'hot spots'. Well, I finally found the 
problem:
The electrical connector which is plugged to the warmup regulator. I 
removed it, just to see that one of the contacts had vanished, deep into 
the plastic cover. e-mail me if you want a photo. So I think I just have 
to get this little bastard out again to have the whole thing up and 
working again. That simple, eh?
