Hi There everybody

I haven't posted in quite awhile, time for me to do some more work on my 81 wagon. This car has always (since I've owned it) had a shaky idle. I have rewired the engine, rebuilt the cylinder head, replaced all the fuel injectors and their seals, taken apart the throttle body and cleaned it and set the plunger, etc. The only thing I haven't messed with is the fuel distributor (oh yeah, K-Jetronic!) So before I tear into the fuel injection again, is it possible for a gunked up fuel distributor to make for shaky idle? Off idle the car runs great. Shaky idle slightly worse in cold weather than hot. I've replaced temp sensors as well.

Thanks to anyone who knows the K-Jets!!

Scott
