Hello everybody,I have a problem with my 1989 F reg 240 GLT estate it starts very well but will not tick over until hot it dies every time you brake not very good in rush hour trafic, hoping some body will have some ideas.

Idle speed might be set too low. You adjust it by turning the black downward pointing knob by the throttle plate.

Is it fine when hot? It might be the auxiliary air valve.

Cheers

You can try cleaning it with carb cleaner. You can also adjust it (release small screw on the round thingy, turn plate through air passage and tighten again) but it has never worked for me.
A new one from Volvo is about £45.

Cheers
