Oil pressure seems o.k., but the filter is new. It could be worth just putting on a new one. It's a baldwin filter. |

Sorry- I put this in the wrong area.
Can this be moved to Technical Q&A? I tried to edit the post, but was given no choice to change the topic.
Sorry again. |

What's your oil pressure doing?
If it drops you could have a bad or collapsed filter. |

My 84 Euro 308 is having trouble holding idle after it is well warmed up. After driving for fifteen minutes or so, all is well. But after twenty or thirty minutes it loses the ability to hold idle, and I have to keep the rev's up. When I take it out of gear at a stop light or something, the rpm's drop below 500 and you can hear the fuel pump relay clicking away and then the car dies. Aside from this, the car seems to run fine and has plenty of power.
Any ideas?
Actually- the car also has a cold-idle problem. It will not increase the idle speed automatically when cold. It's been doing this long before the warm idle issue. I've just been letting the car warm up for a while to avoid this. When cold, it idles about 900-1000 rpm. Unplugging the vac line from the warm-up regulator makes no change in the rpm's. Could these be related? |
