'84 volvo stalls unpredictably
does anyone have suggestions?
It can go for days without stalling. It will rev up at a stop light on its own, so I need to put my foot on the break harder to prevent taking off. Sometimes while shifting gears, mostly to reverse. Car smells like gas when windows are rolled down. other people say there's an air leak by listening, but I can't hear it. I sprayed starter fluid on the hoses to see if the rpms would go up but nothing happened. |
