Zeusimo Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Hey Everyone. I Just Finished Making The 610 Drivable Runs Good And Drives Like A Champ But When Comming To A Complete Stop, It Stalls As If I Turned It Off If I Slow Down Really Hard It Wants To Stall But Doesn't To Stop I Have To Slow Down To Where I'm Bearly Rolling And Then Stop Completely It Doesn't Do This When It's Idling Just When I'm Comming To A Full Stop I'm Kinda Confused... Idk Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Is it an automatic? It's most common on automatics, but can happen with manuals too. There are several things that cause this syptom, including: * Vacuum leak * Idle set too slow * Idle stop (dashpot) is loose * Idle mixture is incorrect It's probably a vacuum leak. It could be at the distributor diaphragm, air cleaner motor, choke pull off or a cracked rubber hose. If you have a vacuum leak, you can compensate by adjusting the idle speed & mixture screws to get a good idle, but it still won't run exactly right -- often it will die when stopping. 1 Quote Link to comment
Zeusimo Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 It Idles At 800 It's A 5 Speed I Don't Hear Any Leaks But It Is Missing The Choke And Air Cleaner P.O. Threw Them Away... Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 You won't hear hissing with most vacuum leaks. Even if the choke is missing, the choke pull off might still be there. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Clogged idle jet? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Possible, but that would like not allow it to idle well. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Disconnect the hose to the brake booster right at the manifold and plug it with duct tape or w/e. Try it now BUT: BE AWARE THE BRAKING PERFORMANCE WILL BE SEVERELY ALTERED REQUIRING MUCH MORE PEDDLE EFFORT. Try this only in a safe place.s This is just a test to see if the hose or brake booster is the source of the vacuum leak. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 What/ever. Just plug it up so it don't leak. :) Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I didn't think anybody came to a complete stop in California.. Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 They don't.. Not even at stop lights, they inch up until they are in The middle of the intersection. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 When we lived in the Bay Area, we called that a "Hollywood Stop". Sounds like it has now spread even to Norcal... Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 My whole life I have heard it as the California Stop, maybe because I dont live in California. It really makes me mad when someone does that in front of me and then proceeds to drive 5mph under; I thought the person was in a hurry to go somewhere if they cant make a complete stop... 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 The law is you must come to a complete stop. In real life most don't because it's a waste of time I no one is coming but where do you draw the line? Roll through at 5mph? walking speed? running? Maybe just not even bother to slow if it's clear. I stop completely much of the time and come very close to a complete stop the ones I miss. I'm not perfect but if you start slacking in this you begin to take other liberties with your driving through sheer laziness and years of having nothing bad happen. As far as driving I go slightly over the limit, maybe 3-5 KPH. This way I'm speeding just like the jerk behind my and if I'm not going fast enough for him he can pass me or leave earlier the next day. I'm in no hurry to get to work or get home or anywhere else I'm going. I timed my drive to work and speeding vs. just driving saves at most less than a minute and I don't use my brakes hardly at all. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jimmyray73 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Had similar issues with vacuum leaks, I'd say check for that. The other two times I had similar issues were with fuel injected cars so may not help much, had air leaking into the intake past the MAF causing similar symptoms. I'd say check the carb(s) for obstructions or anything else that might throw off the air/fuel mix or impede/slow operation. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 All you gotta do, carb or EFI, is do the usual procedue to check for vaccum leaks. Don't listen for it, because only a slight leak causes the "runs good, but dies when stopping". Follow the procedure and you'll find it. 1 Quote Link to comment
