My 1990 cordoba engine starts and idles smoothly when cold for 1 minute then starts to die. when drive is engaged it will start to move then the engine will start to die off. It sounds like a fuel problem as the injection sounds like it is sucking air. A slight blip on the throttle will fix the problem but only for a short time. This make sthe car very difficult to drive espcailly in traffic.
I have changed the injector, distributor, computer with some that came of a working car to no avail. The problem is not quite as bad whenthe engine is warm.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated
thanks

i know this might be slightly late but have you tried the idle controll valve?
