hey, can someone help me figure out whats wrong?
1990 SOHC 160K miles
i know its an old turd but i needa make it last until the end of summer so i can save up for a motor swap.
when the car is 1st started it runs great, at 900-1000RPM at idle, smooth rev.... after about 25-45 min. of driving, it wants to idle at 1500-1700RPM and when i take off from a light when i 1st go to tach it up it wants to die but will run thru the gear fine after that initial misfire. i have to feather the pedal very lightly to get the RPMs up when taking off. also, after i shut it off after its acting dumb, it wont start directly back up, but it will crank after like an hour when it cools down a lil bit.
i'm sure this has happened to someone. can anyone help out here please?
