1978 Bus, 2.0 FI, Solid Lifters - Dies at Idle
Posted: Tue Nov 12, 2013 8:39 pm
New engine with under 5k on her.
Rebuilt by Adrian at Head Flow Masters
Problem started yesterday and got worse today and is now causing me to get stuck.
Crossing various elevations: Cascades, today Lolo Pass
Problem happens at all elevations
She runs flat out just fine, but as soon as I stop at a light or in a parking lot, she will die.
First couple of times she dies, i could start her back up.
Now when she dies - she does not start right back up. I need to let her sit for a while and I usually have to push the gas pedal down to get her to start and stay running.
I should note, that she has always idled funny. That is either high (1,300- 1,500) or low (850 - 900)
I'm in Missoula, MT now awaiting some suggestions.
