Re: [DML] Rough idle and hard starting.



Okay, I have an update on my problem. When I would give it gas, the engine
would kind of stumble a little bit and then rev. It was smooth as long as I
was giving it gas, and would drive perfectly. It seemed to have all it's
power, just would keep dying at idle as if it were idling too low. I
thought it may be an ingnition problem, but everything seems to be firing
right when I'm driving. So what would cause hard starting and a rough idle
when warm? I pulled one of the spark plugs yesterday and it wasn't worn at
all, blackened, but not excessively charred. The plug had a silvery-gray
liquid around the threads, not like motor oil, possibly anti-seize compound?

Today I started the car, it fired up first crank without giving it any gas.
Sure, it idled a little rough, but it always has when cold. I let it warm
up and drove for a few minutes. After driving it idled smoothly at 600 or
so RPMs with minimal vibrations. I'll just wait and see what happens
tomorrow when I drive to work. Where is the location of the idle speed
motor? I'll check all the connections and clean everything up.

Thanks for everyone's help! I want to get my baby running normal again.
