Ok so I'm just now bringing myself to making a topic on this as its starting to show its ugly side again. I've got some weird idling problem going on as far as I can tell. Basically when the car is at normal operating temp and in neutral my idle will sometimes drop below 600 (probably like 580 or so) and everything will feel real rough and the car will Phsycially feel and sound real choppy like it wants to die but does not. This problem has shown its face on several occasions on random days (2 days in a row now) and the car will run crappy. Also want to say when it does do this I also notice that my gas pedal kinda loses its response. I feel like I have to mash down more on it than when its idling right below 1k.
Any information that could possibly point to my problem? The engine is rebuilt with about I would say 10k+ or so miles on it with new plugs/wires/distributor when the engine was rebuilt. I am currently left in a cloud of confusion over it all ![]() Thanks in advance ![]() -Hazmat |

You sure you don't have any vacuum leaks? It could be a really small one.

You sure you don't have any vacuum leaks? It could be a really small one. No clue. Wouldn't even know in the slightest where to begin to see if I do or not ![]() sure thats the easy/expensive way. but i mean you can check your voltage make sure that it has enough power. if you let go of the clutch when u put it in first, does it cut off? Cut off as in it not doing it anymore or? I haven't checked that yet. It just comes and goes. I've also noticed that I can curve it by turning on my lights. Soon as I turn the lights on my idle goes up a little, sits lower when I don't have lights on at all. |
