Rotary Car Club - View Single Post - GSL-SE Cold Start/Idle Problem

Obiwan · 07-21-2009, 10:03 PM

1984 GSL-SE, 100% stock, 215K miles, 89 octane petrol
New plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, fuel filter, TPS adjusted
Problem same before and after tune-up.

Cold Starts --- Revs up then dies. On second, mostly third try at starting it nearly dies (all warning lights flash on then off), then idle is rough until it warms up.

Warm/Hot Starts --- Starts like new.

Warm Driving (no AC) --- Runs like a champ (Hey, it is a champ!). Idle solid at 800 rpm.

Warm Driving (with AC) --- Runs great when driving. At stops, idle is low and very rough. Almost stalls but hangs on but remains rough. Idles better with clutch pedal depressed.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
