Q: Car is idling rough - 1983 Jeep CJ7
When I start the car and drive, it runs fine while I'm accelerating. At the moment when I apply the clutch and the brakes, it sounds as if it would stall. During idling, it doesn't stall out, but it's very rough. The issue is even worse If I brake hard. I went to the mechanic and he had the fuel pump and carburetor replaced with new parts and repaired the valves. The problem is still there, but the performance has been slightly improved. What else can I do to fix this?
