Well here's what I did so far. I changed the fuel filter and added STP carb cleaner to my fuel. Then I opened up the choke plate and sprayed carb cleaner in there. After this, I checked my distributor cap for corrosion due to a leak. It checked out OK, no leaks. I let the car warm up and everything was pretty smooth. I drove it around and no stalling when lettin off the gas. However I noticed my choke plate never opened fully. It would open the littlest bit. I lubed up the joints to make sure it wasnt binding. Then I turned the idle mixture screws one turn back and then one turn forward to make sure there was nothing blocked. Now it drives normal (or so I thought because this car was probably always driving choked which is why I have bad gas milage and poor performance.) and when I really get on it it back fires quite a bit. I let the car sit for a few hours and when I started it up, the same old shits happening again. Could it be I have a few fouled plugs and I'm not runnin on all cylinders? Headaches! Headaches! Thanks for all the help. Oh yeah, the little round dark plastic housing has a coil inside that opens the choke plate. Could this be bad? What do those marks mean? There are arrows on it that point in a clockwise motion and say lean? What is that for???
