Well, my Volvo 340 GL automatic is in pretty good condition from the outside... from the inside aswell... "So" you might think... well let me try(!) to explain this. When the choke is fully in and I start the engine the engine starts. Engine is stationar just for a few minutes after that the engine stops. But when the choke is almost completely out engine runs very rich, but it runs... There are jsut 3 (instead of 4) bolts that holds the caraburateur and I asume that that is the problem... that the engine gets falls air...

Now, I do not want to get ridd of the car. But WANT TO SOLVE this as it is well in my opinion a very good looking car! Please feel free to reply to this subject.

Also, when I drive for awhile with the choke on and stand for the trafficlights and the car is in its neutral set the car is nervous but when the car is in front of the trafficlights and in D the car doesn't run anymore!

(sorry btw for my bad english)

check for a blocked slow idle jet

Thank you very much! What a great community! Man, would like to fix the problem and keep the Volvo 340 GL now. Though, need to fix it and as I am not that very much known with tooling on cars I start from scratch! (....)
