intermittent rough idling/stalling
Hey All,
Im new to this group so I hope i don't come across as the total newbie... Well, basically I have a 91' civic 3-door hatchback (with carb) Car was perfectly fine until a week ago where it failed the local VRT (high emissions) and had the carb cleaned and passed the vrt the next day. Within a few days of that started to smell fuel when I opened the bonnet...so I started the car and checked the carb....and saw fuel spilling out of the carb fuel pipe...Got that changed, but the latest symptom I'm experiencing is an intermittent rough idle and stalling. Also sometimes when using the manual choke the throttle seems to stick at high revs. The problem seems to be choke related as when I start the car without choke (warm already) car works fine....Any ideas would be much appreciated Thanks Steve |
