lumpy idle and dies after a while
Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2018 10:41 am
bit more history,car only gets used every 3rd sunday of the month,or to the other classic shows,since end of feb,hasnt been used,was involved in a big bike accident on r21 in rush hour,left hand smashed,
so last month charged battery for the 3rd sunday of the month,wouldnt start,so jump started it from the corsa,let it idle for a good hour or so while my son washed it,sunday moved cars, pulled it out,and then the fun and games started,lumpy idle, battled to get it back up the driveway and in to its parking spot,checked points gap and timing,still lumpy and dies when revving it.closed everything up and went to the dream on wheels show,the following weekend,tried to start it,dead.
since then,another operation on left hand,and another one coming up 1st august once cast comes off,so it will still be standing for a long time
would love to know why it has a lumpy idle and dies while revving it?
this car has been a bit of a headache since i bought it,cant find a mechanic to work on it and have slowly been doing it myself,but this last tantrum from her,has got me thinking she should be sold or burnt with fire,lol
any help would be appreciated,thanks
