Strange Starting Problem 700 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be Greg Shutt on  Mon Aug 27 16:14 CST 2001 [RELATED]

When starting our 1988 760 after it's been sitting for a few hours, it ocassionally shuts off after putting the gear selector into drive or reverse. Sometimes it sputters for a few seconds, almost dying, then comes back on and is fine. Other times it does the same but dies. It starts right back up and works fine. Just a strange annoyance. Thanks!

-Greg

    Greg,

    You would probably want to start by cleaning out the idle control motor and the throttle body. There is also an emission control component known as a flame trap (for crankcase ventilation), but if your 760 is a turbo, I don't think it's got one.

    The 700/900 FAQ's on this site should explain the above mentioned procedures very well, otherwise repost for info. There are some pretty sharp folks that frequent this site.
