Re: Question everyone.

I would start with the control pressure regulater. If that checks out
(you need a fuel pressure gauge setup to do it) then I would look at
the idle circuit and make sure the thermistor is kicking up the idle.
If that is OK then check the vacuum circuit to the vacuum advance on
the distributer and the advance unit itself. Vacuum leaks (which you
probably have) won't usually cause this but they will make it worse.
If it has been a long time since the car's last tune-up that would
probably help too. Make sure the frequency valve is buzzing when the
engine is running.
