Rough idle at cold start
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 07-Apr-02 AT 12:45 PM (EST)]Hello. Am a rook mechanic and new to site. Problem is rough idle when first starting, also does not want to stay running unitl it warms up unless you goose the accelerator jus a little. When warmed up, runs well. Also how do I idenitfy my carb if I can't see a # stamped or tagged anywhere? It has Holley on it, but nothing else. Anyone with advice, please speak english, I am wanting to tool it myself but am rookie all the way. Thanks.
P.S. She is a 79 f-150 4x4 w/ 460 transplant 4spd, 4bl carb, looking for love.
