Hot idle problem - 74 164E 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Firewagon on  Mon Aug 26 13:00 CST 2013 [RELATED]

I have a similar problem. My issue is the engine runs fine @ 2,000 rpm or above. If idle is allowed to drop much below that figure, it dies immediately. It will run from idle when cold for about 25 seconds, if idle is not then maintained above 1,500+, the engine quits. Accelerating, from stopped, is problematic even when putting the transmission in gear @2,000 rpm.
