Default RE: Engine Probs

Hi, ok this is what you have to do, set the needles(high and low speed mixtures) to factory, like they were when you first got the car, if u dont remember it should be in your owners manuel. Then try it. But i highly dout thats your problem. Since you had it sit over the winter the glow plug gets old from just sitting there and "gunks up", and it is not able to stay hot enough to keep the engine running. I think you will probebly just need a new glow plug, i say this because i had the same problem about a year ago. And if neither of those work(which i highly think one of them will, most likley the glow plug), then try adjusting the throttle trim, or the idle screw. That should at least keep it running, then basically break it in a little bit and adjust ur high and low speed mixtures to get to its peek performance. Then you car should be cool and ready to go.[8D] Later, -DaVe
