    Low mpg, stalls on start up, misses while drving.

    I've gotten the best of 18 mpg, 13 in the snow.

    The car starts up in the morning, Me pumping it a few times it starts up. Idles at 2700rpm... Then drops and when it drops it stalls. Sounds like it trys to catch itself but doesn't.

    Once I start it up again sometimes it stalls sometimes it regains itself.

    After running I goto drive it and as I go up the rpm's driving it misses.

    I got the airbox off now and checked all the vac lines. Tuned up with plugs, wires, cap, rotor, oil change, carb cleaner. What should/can I do to make the car run good again?

    Make sure your coolant is the right mixture and full and the pump is working... also make sure the preheating system is working... it's the tube from the heat shield to the air cleaner... there is a diaphragm above it that opens a trap door to let in hot air from the heat sheild and it blocks cold air from the fender
