    Hi all.

    Need your help urgently:

    Car: XT130 Corona, Motor: 1x (holden starfire 1.9L)

    Symptoms:

    Bad idle, missing at idle, cutting out

    Stalling whenever you bring it back to idle

    Basically running like a sack of crap

    Was running great before saturday afternoon, only thing that has changed since then was i put some 95 octane in it (instead of 91 like normal, yeeeew).

    Have fixed all vacuum leaks, adjusted idle speed / mixture, choke etc etc.

    Still can't work it out.

    HELP I NEED THIS SHIT RUNNING TOMORROW.
    You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?

    bump faggots.

    Suggested solutions:

    Fuel filter filled with crap

    Something dizzy related?

    HALP MOI.

    so if you bring it off idle, its ok.?

    maybe you got a shitty batch of fuel......its an outside possibility.

    carby cleaning the throat made no difference?

    if you can get to the top of the carby, are you able to remove the bowl? inspect inside there and the float

    it might be a dodgy fuel pump, split in the diaphram causing not enough fuel at idle

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (GZE KE70 @ Mar 16 2008, 09:34 PM) </div>I'd hope not.

    i managed to borrow my friends car for what i need to do tomorrow, so i might just say 'fuck it' and give it a good going-over through the week and if i can't work it out, then just slap a 32 / 36 on it and replace everything.

    yeah thats my guess. i think the idle port has a block in it

    this port is BELOW the throttle butterfly. so you will need to have WOT to see it. shine a torch down the carby and you will see a small hole. this is the idle port.

    don't DROP ANYTHING DOWN THE CARBY
