This problem just started recently. When the engine is cold it has no power and shakes like it's missing. However once it warms up everything is perfectly fine. snarl@net-change.com |

My '64 does the same thing, and it's caused by fouled plugs that clear after the engine gets hot. |

"Pump" the throttle once by hand to make sure the choke fully closes. (it should just snap-shut) Now start the car and look to see if the choke "pull-off" (vacuum diaphram) pulls the choke flap about 1/3 open. Try *slowly* opening the choke flap more to see if the engine runs better with additional air. Adjust the "dogleg" pull-off linkage or replace the vacuum "pod" as needed. (they do ware-out) If the engine runs very long on a closed choke, it will "soot foul" the spark plugs. DD |

My '81 van did the same thing ( much worse in winter) and I had little luck with professional shops in identifying a completely dead pull-off. I guess they mainly understand fuel injection nowadays. in : My '64 does the same thing, and it's caused by Quote:
