The spark plugs and upping the idle has made it normal ish but i think itll be a sensor issue as others have suggested. Not got any back sears so on the hunt to rebuild the back of the car

Thanks,

The cars had a few good things done by the previous owner, ss manfold & exhaust, rear disc conversion and upper lower and read braces

This is my new car not had it to long, a few problems but alot of decent work done will pad this thread out later http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/kiranstock/20160315_144826_zpspgxdhnrl.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/kiranstock/20160315_144733_zpsduru5o4x.jpg http://i19.photobucket...

Yeah thats the one, my gt has a similar valve on the inlet isv in that case

Rotor arm and dizzy cap are new, by the last owner hunting the problem down, was on here.

Will check those out, thanks. What i did do yesterday was new spark plugs incase the porcelin and cracked and was arching to the head

Took it for its first run, it gets the love from other drivers

Ok thanks, my experience for the last 8 years has been with mk2f polo gt's and digifant fuel injection

Taking a while to come to terms with the 80s

Hello,

Have bought an 87 gtx 8v kjet but it has a rough start problem, sound like its only firing on 3 cylinders

It wont rev freely till warm, the volt meter moves up and down with the lumpy idle

Its had a new dizzy cap and leads by the last owner but the leads may still be part of the problem
