[et cetera]

I hate that this how my air cooled ownership is starting, but I’m having a problem with a 1978 911sc that I just purchased.

The car was great on the test drive. When cold started it idled a bit high but would settle into a nice 1k idle after a few mins.

On the hour drive home it was good on ther freeway, with just a few bucks at 2500 while cruising.

When I pulled off at my exit problems started. I pushed in the clutch to coast to the light and the car just died. It started back up, but would die every time I came to a stop.

I was able to make it home. I left it in the driveway for 10 mins or so then went to pull it into the garage. It fired right up and idled with no problems.

I took it for a drive a few days later. It was great again until it got warm, then it was the same problem.

I’ve been reading up on the CIS for the last 3 days. I did pull the oil cap and the idle dropped a bit but I don’t have the tools to properly diagnose the problem so I’ll likely take it to a shop, I just want to make sure I know what I’m talking about when I got in there.

I get the feeling that one of the valves in the CIS is sticking because the car wasn’t driven that much. I just wanted to see if I’m on the right track of if there is anything minor I should try before taking it in.

Also, I’m not afraid to pull anything apart and rebuild it, I just don’t want to be throwing money at it when I’m not sure what problem is.
