Hello again!
I have an 83 Spider and have been trying to figure out an idle problem for over a year. I have posted before, and have tried all of the suggested fixes to no avail. Just recently I noticed something else regarding this problem.
The car runs fine most of the time, but will at some point start dying every time I take my foot off the gas pedal. That will continue for from a few minutes to 1/2 hour and then it will start idling properly again. I recently noticed that when it stalls, it will not start unless I depress the gas pedal slightly, as if it is not getting any gas to the cylinders with the pedal at idle, either when the engine has been running and drops back to idle, or when you are trying to start it. When it is running correctly, it will start without depressing the gas at all, and will idle properly. It seems like a very specific issue, hopefully someone will have a solution.
Thanks,
Dan
