I fixed my timing issue today on my 1976 242. It has an auto trans and b21 engine with kjet. It starts right up, and idles while sitting in park very smoothly with no hiccups. When I shift into drive it will sputter out and die unless I keep on the gas. While at a red light I have to keep one foot on the brake and flutter the gas to keep it running. If I just keep my foot on the gas it shifts through the gears fine and moves like it should, and I can let off the gas and coast at a decent speed, but when it slows down to an almost stop it needs more fuel. It seems like quite the coincidence this happened after replacing the timing belt and water pump, as i was not having this issue before doing the job. I?m wondering if something got bumped while we were working. I?m hoping someone has some ideas on where I can start to look for the cause of this issue. Fuel or vacuum related? Thanks in advance....
