starting/idle issue

[Fzzy285]

Ill start by explaining the problem

First off, the car takes several tries to start and stay running. (i start it, runs for half a second then it dies)

Once running, i pretty much have to keep my foot gently pressed on the gas, just enough to open the throttle. Otherwise, it will die. (this problem is intensified when the engine reaches normal operating temp)

Engine shuts off while driving, but starts itself back up.

not sure if the is the same idle problem everyone else has, seeing as my idle does not surge. it just dies. im gonna hopefully take a closer look tomorrow, check a few things, and ill update.

If it is the idle problem, im sorry i wasted a thread on this, feel free to delete it. If not, hopefully ill figure it out

I Just ignore This Idle problem cause, I try almsot all Fixes and keep, This the Mayor and Common Issue for Cb7

i just read the "problem starting cold" thread, the difference is, mine idles better when its cold (probly because cold idle is high enough to keep the engine from dying). once the engine is warmed up it dies more frequently, and while driving. while that thread talks about it idling fine once the engine is warmed up.

At what RPM Idles? I just adjust down the Fast Idle Control at the lower very tight then Lower the Throtle Bolt at 800 RPM, so i dont get idle going up and down. Its not a fix it just a by pass lol to ignore this.

[Fzzy285]

IDles at about 1500 cold, about 450-500 hot

if ur idlein at 4-500... turn the idle bolt out. its located right next to the vaccum line on the throttle body
