I have to flutter or Rev the engine to keep my car running. 1985 Delta 88

 

Congrats, that's a rare option!

But seriously, you looking for tips, advice ??

Set the choke and idle ?

 

There are only about a hundred possible causes of this.

Obviously without MUCH more detailed info on the car and the conditions under which the problem occurs, we cannot provide useful information.

I ***-U-ME this is a gasoline 307 with CCC? Is the car totally stock or has some of the emissions equipment been tampered with? Does the problem happen on a cold start? After warm up? After hot start? Did it recently start? What work has been done to the car? Etc, etc. The mind reading still isn't working.

 

The definition of "flutter" is "to fly unsteadily or hover by flapping the wings quickly and lightly." I think he's telling us what he has to do with himself, not the car, to keep it running.


Something like this:

 

It just started recently. After I had to bypass the heater because it was leaking.

 

That's what my foot has to do to the gas... lol

 

The word you're looking for is not "flutter," but "feather." Feather has lots of meanings besides being part of a bird, and one of them is to tap something, in this case a gas pedal, lightly and repeatedly, which is what we assume you have to do to keep your engine running.

 

And yet, you STILL won't or can't provide us the info we need to help you.

 

H bypassed his heater core, and in the course of messing around in the right-hand rear part of the engine, he knocked off one or more vacuum lines.

We can't help him with this - he has to find it and fix it himself.

How did you know I bypassed the heater core?! Lol but my car now runs fine (:
