just got a 86 dodge 600 turbo and need help with it. it has 86k miles on it and runs pretty good but after riding it for a while then turning it off then starting it up after that it doesnt idle good. sometimes the idle is so bad that it will cut off. also i was thinkin of painting it but its from chicago and has rust so should i just keep it like it is? thanks peeps.

Yeah, that has nothing to do with emissions. All they care about is if it is safe for the inspector to test since it has to be done on a dyno. No fuel leaks, odd size drive tires, things like that.

Lets see some pics Hotrod! I just googled those cars and they seem to be pretty popular , the motors are suppose to be pretty tough and handle a good bit of boost.....lets turn the wick up on it a little and go to eatonton and pick on some ricers lol

i just tried flooring it and the car is slow as piss lol... also there is a fuel leak in one of the lines next to the tank on the passenger line. could that be the root of the problem for the idle problem. good news too, it passed emissions.

Yep it could be contributing to the problem , but whether or not it is you still need to get it fixed , gas is way to expensive to be dripping it on the ground....

vortech the leak is where i showed you yesterday on that website and im thinking of cutting the three fuel lines(metal) and buying spare lines and some how attaching them to the old ones. its going to be tempory but has anyone done this before. i really need to get this thing to stop leaking because if i dont im gonna be wasting about a gallon or two a day in rush hour traffic. or i will be riding my bicycle in freezing ass weather lol.

Any car that I had that had rust, I kept and ran them into the ground. Yeah I kept up on the maintenance....the biggest pos's I owned seemed to go forever.
