My last motor threw a rod, so I replaced it with a junk yard motor. Car runs real good (for what it is) but has a bit of what sounds like valve clatter. The oil that was in it was extreamly clean. I gave it a full tune up.

Also......When in stop and go traffic, it tries to rev up to 2000 rpm with the clutch down, but I can pull the pedal up and it stays down till the next time I touch the accelerator.

And... Sometimes after short trips and sitting for an hour, it refuses to start.

I'm starting to hate this car.....Please help me if you can.

Thanks
