Now that cold weather is back again my 78 Accord has started having
a problem under the following conditions: cold, wet weather and the
car has been sitting for a long time (overnight). Usually the car
starts fine and shows no problems but within a mile or so the car is
running really rough and I have to keep some pressure on the gas to keep
it running if I have to stop. When this problem happens all that I have
to do to make the problem disappear is to pull over , turn the engine off
(or let it stall) and wait for a few minutes. After a few minutes I start
the car and the problem has gone away and so far has never reappeared
until the next time it has been sitting for a very long time.
Any ideas???? Why does the problem completely
disappear with a few minutes rest and then stay gone for the rest of
the day even if the car sits out from 8:30 to 5 while I'm at work??
Any help or suggestions for diagnosing the problem would be greatly
appreciated.
