I have an 87 CRX that wouldnt idle & kept dying. I had to keep one foot on the gas and the other on the brake when at a stop. First mechanic I took it to told me I needed a new or rebuilt carb. Second mechanic actually fixed it! The carb's are factory sealed so you cant mess with the fuel mixture. My mechanic removed the carb & unsealed the fuel mixture adjuster and then "adjusted" it. Car runs like a dream now! and it cost less than 300 - unlike the carb rebuild which was going to cost 580
Have your mechanic look at it and see if this is the problem.
If you take off the air cleaner off, sometimes there is a vacuum line that will come off and make the car not idle while in gear and at a dead stop. My 86 had that problem and i just hooked the hose back up and it runs fine. As far as your car not idling when cold, sounds like your carb is not choking like it should. You may need to turn up the idle on the choke, and not the carb .

What is the problem if a 14 HP lawnmower engine starts fine but won't cut off with switch?
The kill switch wire is either disconnected or broken. Follow the wire from the OFF position of the ignition switch toward the engine where it connects to another wire coming from under the engine shroud. If everything is okay between the switch and where the two wires connect, you will have to remove the engine shroud to look there.
What would cause no spark at the spark plugs on a mercury 125 outboard?
The most likely cause would be the stator assembly. By disconnecting the cannon plug for the key switch harness, at the engine, you can isolate the problem to the engine, or the ignition switch / harness assemblies. With the harness disconnected, spin the engine over with a starter button, connected to the solenoid. If the engine now has fire, the problem is in the ignition kill circuit, (ignition switch, emergency kill switch, or harness assembly). If a no fire condition still exists, the problem is in the ignition system, on the engine itself. The stator, and related ignition components can be tested with a volt / ohm meter.
