CAR - ke70
MOTOR - big port 4age
USE - skids hills - not driven regularly
PROBLEM/QUESTION - so after driving the car for a while tonight it drove fine. then all of a sudden i didnt let the clutch out at high enough revs (heavey duty releases at 3000 rpm) and it started running on 3c. then it did it again, and it seems that if i let the clutch out too low and rev it hard it keeps running on 3. it seems to happen when i accelerate hard at low revs. their appears to be a slight leak coming from underneath but have not had a chance to look. something i didnt think of at the time was i only switched the thermo on at 60 degrees and did not turn it out depsite high speed casual driving. possibly over cooling?

any ideas?

yeah, gotta go through that. it sits idle for long periods of time as well. gonna clean out injectors and replace plugs ignition etc, just wondering if its possible theres something more serious causing it or whether or not its just a spark problem.
