I have a 1983 GL wagon 5 speed 4x4 and it wont start on its own. I have to hook jumper cabels up to it and pour gas down the carb. last time I started it, it was idleing low and when I tried to adjust the idle, it killed it and I couldnt get it started again.
The one time i got to drive it, I couldnt get it to go over 2000 rpms because the whole car started hopping around like someone was just learning to drive a stick.
I rebuilt the carb and it didnt look like it helped, so I'm wondering if a new distributer, or alternator would help.
