tpi pro's inside please

I have some problems with my 86 tpi 305 that I can't figure out. When I 1st crank it, it starts then cuts off then I have to turn it over for about 15 seconds before it starts. When cruzing at about 2500 rpm it studders and I have to floor it to make it stop and last the engine light comes on every now and then. I know it could be hundreds of things but anyone know if all of these could point to just one??

Thanks - charlie

Try this TPI trick to see if it works in your case. Crank the engine over for a couple of seconds. Shut off. Then crank again. Most will start right up on the second start.
