Engine misfire when cold
Hi,
i was wondering what could be the reason, as my '76 Dodge Coronet doesn't run well with cold engine. When i press gas, engine allmost chokes, and if i press more gas it really dies. So, where to start fixing this problem, and what to investigate and replace. As i say engine is cold, at least now as the weather is 0-10 degrees(30-50 F) outside. |
Pull some spark plugs and see what they look like. Also it sounds like your carb mey need to be cleaned and adjusted.
|
is the choke working properly?
|
what engine? center port in intake and heads plugged?
|
360 v8, choke is automatic but yeah, it seems to work ok as the engine doesn't die on idle even as cold. It's only when i start to drive and give gas it misfires.
With very gentle gas i can drive it but otherwise need to wait until engine worms up. I'll have to check those sparks and then go to carb. |

its part of the egr valve. chances are its pluged, in order to clean it you have to pull the manifold (the only way i know how) and you will see carbon build up in the port of the intake manifold and head. between the 2 sets of runners, but i never had a miss becouse of it.
