Oxymoron76 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 My truck just started doing this. I come out in the morning. Start it up. It idles for 30-45 sec and then dies. I go to start it up and it takes a good 2 or 3 timed before it fires. Electronic choke? Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 possible choke adjustment needed, i ended up having to replace the electric choke coil on my dads weber cus of almost the same issue Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 If the electric choke fails the choke will work normally but won't shut off, or shut off completely. I would drench the rear and pass side with WD-40. Hold the throttle open slightly and open and close the choke plate to move the linkage and free it up. Take a good look at the plastic fast idle cam. With throttle held open it should drop down when closing the choke plate and lift up when open. Here with the choke on, the cam drops down and the throttle closes against a step on it. This holds the throttle open slightly and gives a fast idle for warm up. . Quote Link to comment
