Greetings everyone! I here recently ran into an issue with my Conquest where it wont idle on its own. Any information to help narrow the cause would be a great help.
The car will start up just fine but will not idle on its own. If i give it some throttle it will hold and stay on no problem.
I thought it would be a loose throttle cable so i tightened it up just a hair and it would stay on no problem.
Then when i got to take it for a little drive around the block it runs real funky.
Its feels as if it does not want to go when trying to take off in first or anywhere in the higher rpm range.
I can roll off in second but i would pretty much have to short shift as the car would sort of buck or hesitate real hard.
Im thinking it could be something fuel related as when im cruising it at a steady pace, i can feel the car just slightly bucking.
Its not bucking violently or anything at this point but just enough to where you can feel it. more like a slight nudge.
Anything helps! Cheers
