rough idle 1800 1972

posted by  someone claiming to be Thad Gilbert on  Fri Nov 16 13:59 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I still havent found the cause of my rough idle. I have elimenated just about everything except the injectors. It only happens when the engine is fully warmed up and it has been shut off and then restarted. But it idles great after being driven a few blocks or when started cold. I think that a leaky injector may be leaking fuel after shuting off the engine thus flooding that cylinder. A cold engine would have no fuel pressure untill started thus no leaking. When idling correctly it tends to be a little fast which could also be from the extra fuel. Any thoughts on this and how to test for this would be appreciated. Thanks
