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 |

Thanks for the ideas so far guys,
Its all tuned, do you guys really think it could be a vacuum leak, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I ask that because once its at running temp. it runs like a top, its smooth thru the rpm range and pulls hard. I will start checking/replacing the hoses tho, they are braided and look like they might still be original. |
