Default C4 Intermittent Rough engine

1985 Tuned Port Injection. 90% of the time engine runs perfectly. Every once in a while car starts hard and then engine runs tough at idle and loads up upon acceleration. After sitting foe a day car runs perfectly.. until the next tine😩

Our recommendation would be to take your vehicle to a GM dealership for a diagnosis. Should you need assistance with this, you can email us at socialmedia@gm.com

Intermittent is usually electrical. Start with the basics - wires cap rotor plugs etc...
