  View original topic: Won't idle after engine is warm
77 Riviera Owner Fri Dec 03, 2004 4:20 pm

I'm having a heck of a time trying to get my 77 bus to idle. When I start it up cold and after innitial warm up it runs great. Once I have gotten the engine a little warmer like when coming off the freeway the engine dies almost instantly after pushing in the clutch and getting off the gas. I can keep it running only by holding on the gas.

I have fixed all the vacum leaks that I can find. It is tuned up well with a new 009 distributor.

I've been told that it could be the EGR valve and when I went to get a new one, the guy behind the counter told me that it surely woule not be the EGR valve, although he had no real advice.

Is your choke working right?
