i have a problem and i am no mechanic but i have a working knowledge or engines and what not but i cannot figure this problem out cause i don't wanna take it into a shop so i am calling on you guys for help and the problem is an extremely rough idle but i have no clue

 

Is this something that just started out of nowhere? Is it a rebuilt being started for the first time? Details please...............

 

What part of Phoenix and what are the symptoms...

 

west phoenix 43rd ave and Dunlap to be exact and its idleing really rough and it has stalled on me a couple time and its not the carb cause i pulled the carb off of my truck(Brand New Carb) and it still did it just to rule that out its a new distributor(DS2) with an msd 6 box running it and i can't fig it out my dad thinks i got a dead cyl but according to the PO the engine was rebuild not that long ago but i have no documentation and when i did my intake on it looked really clean on the inside no sludge really so i assume it was prolly rebuilt CHEAPLY but i want to get it running right if you wanna see it today i work at Checker Auto at 43rd Ave and Olive (across the street from my house) any help would be appreciated cause as a college student i don't have all the money in the world

and if you wanna call me to set something up or what not that is cool my cell is 623 332 6133

 

sounds like a vacuum problem to me... or timing, im coming out to phoenix next week <----random fact of the week.

 

+1 vacum line

 

hmm i thought that too but i checked all of my lines could that cause a small puff sound in my exhaust on the passenger side fo my block

 

I may be around on Sunday, although I'm not sure. I'm not an expert mechanic, but I know a bit about cars. If you want to possibly meet up some time just PM me and we can figure something out.

 

what could cause this it hesitates it has stalled and it runs rough but only at idle but when underway its smooth
