Re: Rev Problems
check for any leaks, check spark plug and wires, check air filter, check distributor rotor
last but not least carb clean the idle control valve.
my car used to bog and shut down at wot when i was driving
when it check the spark plug wires thats connected to distributor cap
there was alot of corrosion
