so my brothers 3gee has been having alot of issues lately and we are at a complete dead end on what it could be. so what its been doing, on start up (when cold) it missfires until its warm and did that for about a week then it also started to idle really low (under 400-500 rpm) and would die alot so just to keep it running we bumped the idle up and it ran but it jumps up and down from just under 1000 to 1500 and dies still is u stop to sudden or if u pump the break or break hard and sometimes would need a minute to start back up. so we thought maybe it was the distributor going out so we replaced it today and it was good for a little bit (just teasing us:crying::bs:) and it started idling like it was. but it didnt mis fire on start up so that may be fixed but will have to wait till tomarrow when its cold to know for sure. but we are just running out of ideas cause in the last 3,000 miles we have replaced the distributor,carb,cap,rotor,spark plugs,plug wires,fuel filters, pvc filter, power steering pump (not related obviously),a bunch of vacuum lines, radiator hose and a bunch of other stuff but are no was related. so ya any ideas would be greatly appreciated. o and just for your information the car is a carbed 88 lx
