Eratic idleing on a 1980 244

posted by  someone claiming to be Alberta on  Sun Feb 17 21:37 CST 2002 [RELATED]

When i start my car up it starts sputtering then i have to give it a little gas before it actually starts idleing and my car shakes like nothing else when idleing. I think it might be the timeing and so does my mechanic what are your thoughts?
Thanks

Does it continue with the lumpy idle and fuel-deprived symptoms when it's fully warmed up? I don't think timing would suddenly go bad, at least at the distributor end. Maybe your timing belt skipped a cog?

Consider the following:

vacuum leaks
cold start injector (sometimes called the 5th injector) and its sensor
control pressure regulator
