So, running the car in the driveway it seemed like the problem had disappeared and all was well..... but no. When I had to drive somewhere a little later the problem was back. Again, starts and runs fine with the choke pulled, and runs fine driving with the choke in as long as there is some throttle, but won't run at idle. Could this be a sign the fuel pump is failing and will provide enough pressure at higher rpms but not at lower/idle speeds? The fact that I had things working fine for at least a little while leads me to think that that wouldn't be the case, but I don't know. Still seems like somehow something is blocking the idle circuit, but I've blown carb cleaner though it..... OK, any ideas, again?
