Car keeps stalling! 240

Jul 01, 2008 1 Replies

Hi, I have a Volvo 240GL, an 86.



Here's my issue... There is this rattling I'm hearing when I am idling and when I slow down it stalls out.. I can restart the car and then I'm fine.. But I'm just wondering if the idle needs to be adjusted or of it's something else..



Any advice would be appreciated..



Thanks!


Probably two separate issues. The rattling is probably the heat shield on the catalytic convertor; one of the spot welds has probably broken. There are several possibilities for the stall problem and others can discuss them more intelligently than I can.
