Is choke removal an easy job? Help needed urgently 200

posted by  someone claiming to be seyed Jamali on  Mon Jan 19 21:07 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I have a 1982 240 Dl volvo and it is having a really rough idle when the car is first warming up....after riding it the engine soudn usually smoothes out. I opened up the choke today (right side of the engien connected to air intake). IT was FULL of oil and gunk (last owners were old people:(....

I am thinking of fully removing the whole choke and cleaning it out as it was really dirty.

I also saw a loose hose, about 1/2 inch in length, right behind the rotor cap...one end was loose...so i thought maybe this was my rough idle problem (chop chop noise from engine when warming up). But i couldnt' seem to find anywhere where the thing woudl plug into???

It was driving me mad...

Anyways..if anybody could help give me directsion on how to remove the choke...and where that loose vacuam hose goes to..


Thanks:)
