Hello all, i was enjoying my "new" 83 dodge miser 225, 4spd od, having a nice time, and all of a sudden i slid out in some ice and hit a pole. Not too much body damage occurred, but the problem is, it doesn't want to idle. The rpms are low when it does idle, and it wants to die when going slow in 1st/reverse, but when driving faster than 10 or 15 or so, it seems to operate the same as before. when i start it cold, it dies without unless i press a little on the gas pedal, but when it warms up, it does idle for a minute or so. First i guestimated it was the choke pulloff, but then i suspected it could be ignition related when the lights got dim when i was driving slow in 1st, though that could also be the low rpms?
