Re: [DML] Rough idle and hard starting.

The symptoms sound like an ignition problem. When you "revved up" the 
engine it temporaly cleared the fouled plug. I would look for a bad 
ignition wire, worn spark plugs, cracked or tracked distributer cap. 
If it has been a while it probably needs a tune-up.
