Lower the idle speed, or use an idle solenoid that is energized when the engine is running, and off when the ignition is turned off. If the throttle blades aren't going completely shut when you are at idle, it can cause the engine to diesel. There is also the old trick of enlarging the air bleed holes in the throttle plates, this will increase the air flow at idle, and allow the idle screw to be adjusted so that the throttle blades are completely closed.....Last edited by Dave Severson; 02-09-2007 at 05:45 AM.
