Wait, it runs if you keep the throttle open? That changes things...
Host the video on photobucket. I'd like to hear it. Wondering if the throttle blade is closed too far or the iac is out. But it should idle smoothly with the blade cracked
Did you ever mention what work you did since the last time it ran correctly?
Find an obdi scannerNothing other than the car sat for a couple years. Just started it up here and there. But since i started the resto it wasn't idling too good. idle was shaky but it was enough to move the car out of the driveway and onto the street.
UPDATE:
IT IDLES!
It idles, but barely. Gonna check the timing and see where its at. May replace the cap, rotor and plugs.
Just thought of it. Maybe the oxygen sensors? I have long tubes if it means anything,
It sucks none of the autozones etc have em behind the counter anymore, only obdii. I had to break down and buy a summit cheapie. It kinda sucks but better than nothing I guess.
I have a code scanner if you want to borrow it.
Atta boyI got it fixed! Checked the timing and adjusted it again and it idles. Slightly rough but i think i gotta drive it and loosen it up. gonna change wires and cap and rotor and see if it improves.
