I ain't idling!
Hey everybody, have a idle problem that has been ongoing. I've
read this in past postings, but I can't find them.
Whats going on in my 86 8v:
Really bad cold start. Start the car up and I get a really low
idle or it quits. I've got to give it gas to keep it from dying
initially. But after moving around it will idle but high.
After I have been driving around for a while and I get caught in
traffic and sit in one place for 5 minutes then I can hear this
buzz getting louder, and then the engine dies. The buzz is
definately the pump, I've turned it on and gone back and
listened.
Oddly enough, I can't seem to get my idle down either. My idle
jumps around but usually hovers at 1200 when the cars warm.
Here is what I've done
Fuel system:
Brand new main pump-the old one was making the same noise.
Transfer pump- definately working and been out and cleaned.
Fuel accumulator-checked and does not leak fuel out the end so
its fine.
Ignition system:
New hall sender- cause the old one was broken.
