whats wrong with my ka?
just bought a 92 coupe about a month ago and ive been slow to start working on it but i figured bfore i buy a new motor maybe i should find out whats wrong with the one i got. the car does run its an automatic which will be changed over very soon to 5 speed. but anyways...itll start up and the idle is very roughat about 1000rpm's, the engine has a lot of movement (maybe bad mounts). but then when i put it into drive the idle drops to about 500 rpm's. then when i drive the car iff i let off the gas it stalls out. im not too sure what could be wrong. i was thinking the idle might have somethign to do with vacuum but that wouldnt make it stall out when driving i dont think but i could be wrong. for the most part im clueless as to what to do or what to look for. can anyone help me out???
