1990 volvo 740 gle 16-valve that doesn't like to run in warm weather 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Tony on  Wed Jun 12 05:35 CST 2002 [RELATED]

i've got a 1990 volvo 740 gle 16-valve that doesn't like to run in warm weather. when i turn on the ignition, the engine starts but the rpm falls quickly and so the engine stops. adding extra gas immediately after i start it let's the engine run but as soon as i remove it, it stops again.
if i do manage to get it running (at times when it is slightly warm), the engine has trouble idling or stops completely when the car is stopped in drive, but goes back to normal if i'm stopped and put it into neutral.
anyone have an idea as to what is causing this problem?
