Hi Guys,
I thought I would throw this out there.
The 86 LX will start up just fine regardless of weather conditions (started right up in -10 degree weather). Once its been running for a few seconds it starts missing like crazy and it wants to stall. I have to hold the throttle to keep it from stalling. When it is cold it also smells like gas. If I hold the RPM closer to 3500 the miss firing goes away, but as soon as I let up on the revs it will start missing again.
Once it has warmed up for a few minutes it runs fine, but the warm idle seems to be around 1250 - 1500 RPM. I tried getting it lower by adjusting the idle speed a long time ago, but this resulted in a dieseling effect, so I turned it back up.
Another intermittent issue it has: sometimes when it is warm, it will (for no apparent reason) decide it simply doesn't want to idle at all. It happens at random times without any warning. Any ideas?
