If you don't fine any, slow the idle back down. You don't say what year it is. If it is a '70 or newer fuel injection, the throttle switch may be out of adjustment. What you are describing is normal for T-3's that are idling too fast. The ECU thinks the car is decelerating. so it shuts off the fuel to the injectors. When the engine speed drops to a certain point, it turns them back on. Russ Wolfe russ_wolfe@MAHLEParr.com Mahle Parr Filter Systems 505 E.
