Drove the car for about 30 minutes and parked for 15-20 minutes to get some food. Hopped back in and it won't start. The starter engages but no joy. Did it about 4-6 times. Had to push start the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
By the way, when I first start the car cold. It hunts excessively to almost where it dies then it settles a bit after it warms up. Still hunts but not as much. Not sure if it is related to the issue I described above. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks. |

The problem is the head temp sensor thinking the engine is cooler than it really is and causing a rich mixture. Next time before you turn the key on, push the throttle down to the floor, then start. My 76 does this also and otherwise runs great.
