OK, Looked at an XR2 resto project today, overall it was in good nick, bitta the usual welding etc needs doing like.

However, it was running shit

Lumpy idle and stuttering, once revving it was fine but as soon as settled back to idle, the car would shake and stutter again

Any pointers?

Cheers

John
