84 Turbo Wagon, runs great, will not idle, breaks up, quits

Featured Replies

Yes. it is running fine at higer RPM.

 

When dropping down to idle it will hold a few seconds, then the tach needle jumps all over, then quits.

 

Seems to be electronic  ??  New fuel filter, cleaned the TPS contacts.

 

Hope for some ideas  !!

 

 

Check for side play of the distributor shaft.

You want almost none.

Common fault.

Will do ASAP.  Only has 106,+++ miles, should be tight.

 

We'll see.

Right about that, 1000 +  !!   Have .060 to .090 in movement of the shaft.

 

Has a screw down cap, which was replaced with the rotor.

 

NAPA and others cannot find the replacement.

 

Anyone have a part ## or where to get a good rebuilt ??

 

Or, anyone have a good used one to part with  ??

Need the base, has a screw down cap.  Shaft needs rebush.

you can use an 85-86 ea82t distributor with a little modification, has to be those years though.
