Low Idle and Hesitation Problems (SC)
Okay, a little off the beaten path for me:
A friend (really!) has a 1978 SC Coupe. This was the first year for the 3.0l I believe. Lately he's been having problems with hesitation and idle reliability. Basically, the engine will not stay running unless he's giving it some gas.
The problem has gotten worse and worse over the summer and several track events.
I have noticed that when he starts his car it idles higher than my Carerra. It idles at 2000 rpm, and once it warms up the idle speed drops to normal, and then won't stay running unless it's given gas. He also indicates hesitation on acceleration until 3000rpm or so.
What's wrong?
