Hey again guys, haven't posted in a while
Now I've done a bunch of stuff to it, but I can't clear up one issue, maybe you guys can help me out
The car has a mis. When it's -5 out and I start the car, it runs absolutely mint, no vibration, nice steady tach, and oil pressure hugs the 3 mark nice and tight.
Bu as soon as the car warms up the idle gets a bit rough, the car shakes at idle, and at idle the oil pressure needle dances around between 1 and 2 on the dial.
I've done the entire throttle adjustment, new injector nozzles for all 5 injectors, new injector lines, replaced the vacuum pump, fixed the vacuum leak...
I'm stuck on where to go next, do I need a compression tester or somehting?
Thanks so much for any ideas

I have a blue '85 300TD that I posted about, then a very nice desert car, an '82 300TD became available, so I've been DD'ing that.
