My 74 1.8 L-Jet is giving me trouble, At start up, engine cold, it will idle rough (400-500 rpm) and seems to be loading up?, after 3 or 4 minutes the rough idle goes away and it will idle at 900 rpm's, but if I ease into the throttle it cuts out around 2800-3500 rpms, but I can rev it to red line. after driving it 2 or 3 miles it seems to clean out and runs great, however it will from time to time die when I have the clutch in while stopping.
Where should I start looking |

Possible cold start injector leaking or bad head temp sensor.
Inspect all the vac hoses first, of course. L-jet is a closed vac system. Check that the seal on the oil fill and gas caps are good, too. It's not too much work to replace all the gaskets, seals and suspect hoses. I did this years ago. This is also a good way to learn about your system, if nothing else. Set aside a weekend. Don't start until all parts are in hand. Do a full tune-up as needed. It's nice to get a fresh footing, know where you stand. Esp if you are not the orig owner.
