Wierd Problem Fixed Itself
#1
I just got back my car from painting and it was running totally fine before I had brought it in. One of the problems that had occurred was that they flooded the car and I had to go there to get it unflooded. The motor was just installed with about 300 miles on it before going to the shop. When I got the car back, the car was idling at around 100rpm. The car was barely alive but it constatly idled at that level. I let the car run getting it to operating temps but still no change. When I drove the car it just wanted to die I had to rev it higher to get it from dying out when i engaged the clutch. I added gas and drove the car a little more, all of a sudden it sputtered and then it started runnning fine again. This was probably after a half mile to a mile worth of driving after. I was wondering what could of caused this type of thing to occur? Because of this could I of caused any damage to the car? Right now the car seems to be driving fine. The reason I post this question is to make sure I hadn't done anything foolish and risked losing this second motor.

when both my 1st gen and 3rd gen flooded, It would take a few hundred miles for the idle to return and the car to drive normal again. Although I usually did swap my plugs out everytime it would flood, it still would take a few hundred to return to normal. I miss my 1st gen BTW.
