Dies after start-up 200 84

posted by  someone claiming to be Steve Merelman on  Mon Jan 15 13:56 CST 2001 [RELATED]

After I start her up, she idles fine. Then, after driving in first a short distance -- say, 30 feet to a stop sign -- and taking my foot off the gas to clutch she dies. Does this once or twice before it improves to a hunting idle. Then, after it's warm, she's fine and the idle is steady.

The idle valve and the throttle body have been cleaned within, I'd say, the past nine months. Doesn't seem to be the microswitch, which clicks at the appropriate moment.

Could it be rotor and cap, which are at least three years old? Could it be my cruddy wiring harness or some sort of bad sensor?

Steve
