I've tried everything short of a complete rebuild to get my '83 ZX back in running order, fuel pump, plugs, wires, cleaned out the air regulator.....hell you name it. Everytime I crank it, it lopes HARD, blows buleish/white smoke, and won't idle unless I keep my foot on the gas and the rpm's between 1K and 2500. I let off the gas and it stalls. I give it more gas to rev the motor and it bogs. Granted, I should be shot for letting it sit for 4 years, but it used to work fine, and I even dorve it to work for a month last year. Then she just quit on me. Wouldn't even start. At least now, she starts...
Any ideas???

 

When it runs does it sound like it fires on all cylinders? Have you checked your fuel injectors out and the connectors? If it was sitting for 4 years those plastic fuel injector connectors can go bad and not be connected all the way giving a bad signal to the CPU, I had to replace 3 already. Still, blue smoke isn't giving a good sign cause that means oil burning...

The injectors seem to be fine....like I said, short of a rebuild, I'm at a total loss.........
I'm thinking of messing with the fuel/air mix. The plugs are wet when It totally stops running.
