Odd CIS Problem
I'm experiencing the following strange symptoms on my '78 SC, despite 3 trips to the shop:
1. The car will start fine from cold, and idle well at around 1,200rpm's for approximately 2 minutes, after which it starts to nearly stall, speed up, nearly stall, etc. I notice a heavy fuel odor coming from the exhaust during this process.
2. After an hour or so drive, if the car is turned off for a few minutes, it's difficult to restart, and when it does start, it idles low and runs poorly until driven for 10-15 minutes.
I don't know if this is related, but the fuel pump sounds like one of those key-in-the-ignition buzzers found on the older VW Beetles. My mechanic, who says all the system pressures are within spec, said this is normal.
I'm a little discouraged at this point, so any input would be most appreciated.......
