Hey everyone. Got a chance to mess with the X1/9 a bit today and got it fired up to only find that its now a sputter-y thing.
I went around the engine removing and plugging vacuum lines and it had no positive effect on the idle when removed, all did make it worse. So I'm thinking it isn't a basic vacuum leak.
After shutting it off and thinking a bit, going out to start it again it was very insistent on having the throttle pressed to fire and start and took a couple tries to do so. After "warm" starting it was once again sputtering and I took this video of it.
Anyway, I'm gonna drag it into the garage and have at it, anyone got suggestions about what to examine first? Thanks all.
edit Forgot to mention that this is a 1987 X1/9 with FI on a 1.5L. Timing belt was done within the last 6 months along with fuel pump/filter.
