Dr Jekl & Mr Kitten erratic idle 200 1981

posted by  someone claiming to be Ted on  Tue Nov 14 15:42 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I've been chasing an erratic idle problem for the last 75K...now have 225K on the car. The problem is erratic. Sometime when I stop at a light the idle is as smooth as a kitten. Other times it's noticably rough. What gives? I've done normal tune-up stuff, changed out both fuel pumps (needed it anyway), hunted vacuum leaks, verified the mix, changed the wires, and fixed the airbox thermostat.

Any ideas? The problem seems to get worse in hot and humid weather.
