Start my car and it Idles at 2500 for about 2 mins. then the idle increases and when i push the gas the idle drops down to 100 rpm and the car dies. Just wondering if you could help me out and tell me what I can do to fix it. This has happened before but the car just fixed itself i guess. This started happening this time when I was parking put parking break on forgot to TAKE CAR OUT OF GEAR, released the clutch and killed it. That is when it started doing this again.

 

bump

 

confused? Driving my car to work today lost all power but it was not the alternator kind of like i lost fuel pressur. Gas pedal was to the floor and the highest the tach would go is 4000. Also tried to shut it off and it would not shut off I really don't understand please HELP

 

I just got rid of my carb 1986 and had a similar problem
The car would not shut off after I turned it off, kept rumbling
Also had the same problem with the hard idle
Guess what you need a new carburator.

I decided to junk the car instead a new honda carb is $700.
