1991 Nissan 240sx HatchbackKA24DE 144K MilesN/A Followed the Jim Wolf timing procedure..

So i went a head and start the car no problem but then i get a rough idle.

It seems like the car just wants to die but it just keeps working and working. My RPM stays just around 800-1000. Everything on the dash is fine, its just the engine shakes quite a bit more than usual.

When i rev the car up to about 4-5k RPM the engine doesnt shake as much as when its on idle. So i think i am off the timing a little?

**EDIT** After about 10 mins into rough idle my car would just die. Anyone know what my problem could be?

Thanks
