Greetings all. I have an ‘88 with the 2.0 5spd. Wife asked I not get a project, but…….
Drove it home somehow. Brakes were shot. Have since gone through the whole brake system with new stuff. Put a kit in the carb. Have gotten it to start fine, idle kicks down when bumping the pedal. It will run/idle fine for a while. Then it just stops. Won’t restart. Then after a bit it will. When driving it ran fine, then wanted to die when I pushed in the clutch coming to a stop. Wouldn’t restart with key, (new battery, cranks great) but would get going with a push and letting out the clutch. Then it would not come off a high idle. I’m sure the vacuum lines are not exactly ran correct, but…. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks!
