stalling

dark horse · 03-14-2000, 10:04 PM

Today's fixes: Used all my 87 octane and put in 93. I also changed my plug wires and fixed the choke plate by moving that black choke coil houseing more. Now it closes and opens completely. No more back fires either, I adjusted my air/fuel mixture too. I turned the screws as far as I could until the car would almost die out and then backede up a bit. I hope I did that right. Also, I played with the idle a bit. With the car warmed up, in drive my idle should be at ____ rpms? right now its at about 750 and in park at 1000rpms. Sounds like too much doesnt it. Thats fully warmed. But if I drop the park idle more, the in gear Idle goes down even more and my car sounds like it will stall. My performance picked up a bit though. I chirped second for the first time! Still feeling slow though. I guess I need to drive another 68 289 to see what mine should feel like. I would also like to thank this board and people for all your help. I'm only 16 and have no mechanical experience other than reading mustang magazines for the last 2 years, so I think I'm doing pretty good.
