Carina Stalling

[JonD]

Hi, I'm a new member....can anyone help? I've a 1991 Carina 1600 GL petrol, 16 valve. It's suddenly started stalling as soon as you take your foot off the accelerator. I had a look to see if any pipes were loose or damaged and checked all carberretor linkages. Now it races at over 2000 rpm (when warm) until you 'blip' the accelerator pedal, then the revs drop and it stalls......very frustrating! I've sprayed all linkages with WD40 with no effect. Anyone heard of these symptoms and/or know what's causing it?

Cheers

Sounds like the Idle jet is blocked.

Now as to where you'd get a schematic for that carburetor, I haven't a clue :(

When the engine is running - is it smooth?

Tampered with anything else recently?

Hi Mate,

Got the same car but older 8v modle, I noticed under the air filter housing on the drivers side there is a little brass colourd component that works with the exelerator it had a spring atached to it, mine was sticking and doing the same thing, still dose stick might need the spring changed but give that a try.

Best of luck
