My 88 2.9 runs rough sometimes. After startup, warm or cold, it will idle fine for about 60-90 seconds, then start to stall. If I start driving, it will run rough for a while before slowly getting better. At 100% throttle it does not run rough.
If I start it up and monitor it when it starts to stall, i blip the throttle to keep it running (every 15 seconds or so). After a couple minutes, it will idle normally and run and drive normally.
I have to repeat this procedure every time the key is shut off, regardless of engine temp/ run time.
I have checked/ replaced the common tuneup items, but I do not suspect any of them due to the odd nature of the situation.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,
G
