Fine and lovely once totally warmed up.
Whats up, or am I just cursed with these 360s?
360 GLEi- poor when cold, bogs down at low revs etc

As per title, sometimes even stalls.

They are rough for the first 30 secs as Steve says. Only other thing than service items I can think of is I seem to remember it was a Mk2, so engine will need to be run on super unleaded, 95 could help in the cause of rough running, especially on LE-jets dodgy startup.

I only run it on Optimax so its not that.
Ill try the aux air valve thing.
The stalling is pretty rare, but it happened 3 times this morning. Twice pretty immediate when stopping, and once after about 3mins of idling.
Idle speed is a bit low anyhow, so adjustment should fix that.
Oh, and whats the (!) symbol mean?
Ive already named it the drift light as it only seems to come on when something "interesting" is happening, lol.
I thought it was to show the wheels had lost traction, but it did it during the odd quick gearchange and even flickered on when i was accelerating in 1st up a very steep hill.
Doesnt seem to affect anything, but it lights up...

My GLT runs quite rough when you first start it up. My mate though it had a lairy cam as it was so lumpy at idle!!
Anyways, I put a new dizzy cap and rotor arm on mine a while back, and although it nowhere near cured it, it certainly helped. So if you haven't its definately worth checking them out (along with plugs and leads).

The main problem is LE-Jetronic being a festering heap...
I'd put a pint on the 'drift light' being low fluid or a faulty connection to the level switch, etc.
