Help please! My 74 1.8 Djet dies at an idle, it runs okay at higher rpms but the tach just goes to nothing and it dies at idle.
The problems is it is intermitten (sp?) Sometimes it does, sometimes not. It will start up right away and there is some gas smell. Ayone familiar with this problem? thanks. I am planning a longer trip but not with this problem! |

"it could be a timing problem," I had this done this spring
bad points & condensor, (Also done this spring) stuck open/closed injector, ( How can I check this?) bad vacuum pot on the distributor ( How can I check this?) I am replacing one vacuum line, the rest were done last year, but one old one remains. Next? Thanks. |
