#250224 So my car sometimes dies when i come 2 a complete stop n push the clutch in all the way. I come 2 a stop push the clutch n my idle goes low 2 about 800-900 then it goes lower n dies. Could it b my injectors flooding my car? It also bogs sometimes when taking off. I am running DSM 440cc.

#250255 i had the same problem with my car a few weeks ago, took the car to 3 different mechanics and couldnt find the problem.

I bled the brakes and advanced the timing cause it was 2 deg lower than normal.

shes fine now

On my distributor cap thing it looks like it is advanced. N im wondering if it is my rotor i looked at it n it is corroded looking. So here in a bit im about 2 change my distributor cap, rotor, n fuel filter. N later on im planning 2 do a compression test.

#250277 if your timing is advanced then i dont think it could be that.
mine was retarded by a few degrees and it felt nice and responsive but i had this problem so trying to eliminate the easiest things first i tried that.
dizzy was going to be my next option.
