canon3383 Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 My 1985 720 2wd with z24 was running good. It's always, since i got to 3 months and 500 miles ago, has had a hesitation when i would take off from a stop. Monday it started to not wanting to idle very well, I drove it to work and back, about 10 miles total . Yesterday, in the morning, it would idle real bad, like it was missing and i had to start giving it a little gas in neutral as not to have it die. On my way home it got worse and will not idle even in park unless I give it a little gas, (the motor would shake with out giving it a little gas). When it is idling it almost sounds like its intermittently missing and when I take my foot off the gas, it shakes then dies. I plan on replacing plugs and the distributor as that's my guess. I don't think its the carburetor causing the problem and all the vacuum lines are still connected. I did an oil change 2 weeks ago and that stopped the small ticking noise the engine had. Any suggestions as of right now as I'm on a limited budget? 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 idle jet plugged in Carb. Find you fuel filter and if the see thru kind see if dirty or take apart. If bad inside then could have suck up junk. could be a tight valve. dist off maybe a little vaccuum leak, loose carb intake ect..... 2 Quote Link to comment
