gtv-6 starting difficulties, also, spec for bolts holding rear rotors in place



i'm still working to get my wife's 6 road worthy; it's going slower now as
our old house is sold and due to close on the 26th, and i'm desparately
trying to get the junk cleared out once and for all.

it has suddenly developed an interesting startup hitch. i can crank it, it
sounds like it's firing, but when i release the ignition key it stalls.

if i roll to the throttle in a timely manner after it catches, i can keep
it from stalling, but this only works a small percentage of the time
(10-15%, tops).

anyone have any suggestions as to what is going on?

no rush on such suggestions; right now it's up on jack stands waiting for
me to swap out the rear rotors.

on that note, can anyone tell me what grade the rear rotor bolts are? 8.8
(the stock metric grade) or something else? i'm inclined to replace them,
but i don't want to commit a materials gaffe by using the wrong grade.

thanks,
  richard
