Hey guys I just have a quick question about the idle and what it involves on my vehicle.
The car has been running perfectly for 3 weeks (the time I’ve owned it) today however it started and idled really low, just about stalling. I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t even turning 400rpm. It stalled a few times but managed to drive it home. Any slight touch of the gas pedal brought the engine to life and it ran perfectly! Letting go of the gas pedal it would go super low in RPM and sometimes stall. It’s got the original Rochester qjet carb, I have not touched it since I got it.
The weird part, I gave it full throttle on a nice open road and after that it idled perfectly. I’m wondering where or what I should be checking to make sure the problem doesn’t come back?
