Hello, Have you a catalytic converter? if you do I would be looking in that area as the symptoms you describe are pointing well in that direction. When cat's wear out they collapse blocking exhaust causing too much back pressure! Please remember to rate my effort, Paul 'W' Onyer~EDson(:0) {#><U.K.

It sounds like the gas control lever under the hood may be sticking a little and not retracting fully to idle.Open your hood and have someone start your car.When they give it some gas you should see the actuator move which has a cable attached,probably located at the end of the fuel injectors on the driver side.It should be pretty noticeable as about the only moving mechanism when the gas pedal is pushed.Usually pushing the gas pedal makes the lever move toward the driver.Once you have found it,push down on it in the opposite direction as giving gas to see if the revs decrease back closer to idle.If it does,WD-40 on the hinge where it pivots may help.Spray it,rev it a couple times and check.Even if it works on the first try,do it a couple more times.If this does not work,please reply back and I will get an auto link to see what you posted. Good luck! Greg
obviously play around with the idle. sometimes these old cars just need to be played around with for a bit. have the car idle a little bit higher than it should. also it might be taking in air at a constant rate
