It falls on it's face when it's first started up. 200 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be goober on  Mon Apr 29 07:44 CST 2002 [RELATED]


My 245 wagon has a nagging trait when first started until it warms up, then it runs good but not exceptional. I just put in a new cap, rotor button and plugs and took up the slack in the throttle cable. I have never cleaned the throttle body. It falls on it's face when first started up.Also I tried to turn the idle up a tad and it didn't seem to change. Could it be the temp. switch? Is there more than one temp. switch? Also , I have ruled out the pre-pump not running, it works.
