Hi, My '89 GL keeps dying when I start it if I'm not keeping the gas pedal down enough to keep it above 2k rpms. It happens more always when in gear/clutch pedal depressed but not so much when in neutral with clutch pedal out. If I spend about 5min "warming" it up then everything runs just fine. If not then I can watch the rpms hover around 1500rpms and slowly drop to 1000rpms at which point it time it drops sharply and the engine dies. I'm thinking at the least I should replace the fuel, and fuel filter but it almost sounds like it might be a vacuum issue. Can someone with a bit more experience chime in? Cheers, Harry |
