84 DL SW / Idle problems 200 1984

have you checked all your air systems?
air filter (if it ever got wet its ruined)
flame trap (widely overlooked)
throttle body (take if off and clean it well)

also, change your fuel filter and don't forget about the in-tank pump filter(sock) $6 and easy to do.

examine your vacuum hoses or all hoses in the air system for cracks, replace if necessary or for a short term fix seal well with electrical tape.

if none of these seem to help them your injectors are probably dirty or gummed up. if needed run your tank down to the begining of the red line and dump some heavy duty injector cleaner in the tank (JB, sea foam, etc.) and run the tank nearly empty. you may want to change your oil after that though or else your oil will not lubricate to well.

I did this to my '84 245 SW and it helped alot, but my injectors are gummy and haven't gotten new ones yet so i still have a slight twitch.

Hope this helps,
Chuck
