Choke Idle Won't Kick Down!

- For those who maybe encountering this little minor problem, or for those who want to prevent it from happening in the future - well here it is. In this video I discuss the potential problems that can arise from a sticking choke and all the linkages that make it work, and ways to fix it.
you have a teaching way about you that shows your knowledge but does not make you sound aloof. good and clear and easy for a layman to understand what you are on about. thank you Martin Brandt
Awesome video, wow 7 years old at this point, so you're 32 now.
Thanks for the tips
Someone raised a really good son, at 25, I'd be super proud if he was my son
Nice video. But there's more to this story that may also cause high ideal. The secondary throttle plates may be sticking slightly open. This was my problem. It took taking the whole carb off to thoroughly clean the carbon deposits holding the throttle open.
ahh yes I remember those days of the carb . the days when I remember driving my 76 caprice . turning street corners and my car would just die out . but I still love those vehichles . great video ur one smart mechanic really ... feb 14 2014 . happy valentines day .
For someone who is only 25 like me your switched on with your knowledge of these cars I only came across your channel today here in Australia we deal with fuel injection more so than carby systems and is great to learn a little about these systems
I'm glad someone is saying WD40 isn't good for exposed engine parts that need to be somewhat clean for good operations I had used it once on my throttle body and it created a large build up or grime Australian Caprice is called a Holden caprice great looking cars but nothing like yours Aussie cars are mostly rear wheel drive (more fun )
Well I hope you enjoy my channel, the Holden Caprice (uses Chevrolet name plate here) has started to make its way to Canada. Infact there are a few law enforcement agencies around here that are using them now since Ford's Crown Victoria is now obsolete (2011) and I agree RWD will always be the way to go.
Anyway Cheers mate!
Thank you so very much for the refresher. Just bought an 86 olds with a quadrajunk 4bl, had this happen, and forgot what my Dad told me to do. Gimme a break, it has been 43 years since l have had to deal with this. Great vid, complete basic explanation on cause, effect, and how to fix. Nice chem use guide. Great graffix! Regards- Herb.
Thanks for sharing the information. A good explanation of the workings, and how they all relate to each other.
Of course NOW I find your video!! I need to try and clean mine how you showed it. I’m having the exact same problem with my 85 C2500 GMC Sierra. 305 with a 4bbl quadrajet. Thanks for posting.
Thanks, that was exactly the problem on my 74 Corvette.
Try and adjust ur choke plate.(black choke cover on pass side of carb w the 3 screws. Cuz I literally just had same issue with my new(remanufactured) quadrajet i was bouta go back to oreillys n slap em w it 😆 anyways ima newbie when it comes to carbs and I feel like I've accomplished something by doing this but i realized I had it set lean(to the left of the notches on choke housing.) Not even in the notch area lol And i moved it CW and it stopped idling so high AND quit jumping back to high idle. And it started running the way it should 👍😃...you may have to adjust ur fast idle a bit(while still cold) but it should help! hope this helps anybody
That's just the answer I've been searching for. Make some more vids, I may need help down the road.
Good vid for us beginners. I learned a lot. Wish I had seen this one first.
Just had my k10 do this got stuck at 3k and wouldnt go down, went under the hood and manually moved it back down. Thanks for explaining what it could be.
My 81 cutless does the same thing and driving is at jumpy and high rpms to cause choke pops right back up. Ever found out what it was?
@Brandon Bouvier I took carb cleaner and sprayed the hell outa the electric choke area; it fixed my issue.
Thanks man. This was exactly my problem. And I originally used WD-40. It's still on the bench so I'll get some carb cleaner.
Holy Hell, brother,you are singing my tune.Going to get down to it now. Sounds a lot like my problem. Starts good, sketchy kick down, then when I have gone a ways, and shut it off, diesels a bit, not a lot but it ain't right.Looking for a cure here, haha.
Thank you, very helpful '85 TOYOTA E/G started @1,500 or 2,000 won't drop.
Thanks! Just as helpful today than when you made this!
this is better than most standup
this guy missed his calling
Thank you for the vid. It solved my problem on my 72 Cutlass supreme (quadrajet carb)
You’re a hero!!
This is what's happening on my 81 Camaro God bless u
Perfect, hard to find videos for diagnosing dieseling.
what if it kicks down post warm up; however, it comes back up later in the drive? I can burp the throttle and it kicks the RPM back down. a bit annoying
Lmfao when he said cylinder # 7 says "Hey! That looks likes fun!" Hahaha
James Kozma I feel left out
hahha 😄
Finally I found a video with what my car was doing
Thanks man this pointed me very much in the right direction
happy new year learned lots about cars from you over the years... atb
Great job bro, keep it up you're a natural at teaching.
helpful Vid, both my trucks wont kick off hig idle, even the one injust rebuild, hope to fix those issues
Good video bro. How about you retitle the video to chevy dieseling fix. You dont know how long ive been looking for a video like yours
Good video bud...thanks!
Nice video thank you for making it
I have a 1981 c10 with a 305. Just recently the choke I believe is sticking. I tap the gas while in neutral and the idle gose back to normal. The idle also raises between gear changes then when in gear it gose back to normal. What would you suggest? I thought about disconnecting the cable
Dude, I am one of those folks that used the wd40. Wondering if I clean rhe linkage with carb cleaner it should work, I wont need to mess with the idle screw because that isnt whats making the fast idle, correct?
This was very helpful, thank you so much! :)
It’s those stupid Rochester Quadrajet carburetors-when you get a good one, they can be one of the best carburetors you can get-but when you get a bad one-they can be one of the most aggravating carburetors you can get.
caballero 231 v6 1981 3.8 litre engine, why does the choke light stay on? My engine runs cool
Great video. What causes my ideal screw to not turn idle. Down or up?
My caprice just started doing this 😩😩😩😩I'll try to do what you did hopefully it kicks down
Oddly enough, neither of mine have did that. I had one though where the choke stuck open and that caused a problem starting it one winter morning. It more or less fixed itself.
I'm having this very problem on my 85 Monte Carlo if I take the air cleaner off and manually push down the linkage my car won't do that knocking noise but it only works for certain amount of time then here comes the knocking I'll go ahead and give it a try with the car cleaner and I'll post my results
This is the same problem I'm having. Did that work for you?
Hey TheYoshiClan sorry to bother you however I have a 1987 chevy caprice classic with an olds 307 and a quadrajet which is giving me some trouble. The vehicle drove fine for the past year or so (with the exception of some hesitation when moving from a stop) However, recently the vehicle will just not drive over 40mph, It will bog and/or stutter until eventually the engine just stalls and I need to pull over. The engine idles fine and revs great when not under any load. The accell pumps seem to be working fine and I don't appear to have any vacuum leaks. Any insight? Possible issue with the secondaries? Or should I just rebuild the entire carb?
Thanks!..
Very good information, is it possible that the EMC computer is the problem? I'm going to try your recommendations today. I just purchased the car a few weeks ago and at first everything was idling fine, within about a week it got really cold and the high idling stated and would not kick down. The car was recently undercoated.
Cool, my 93 festiva, starts 1800 revs then
Thanks!
How do I adjust my idol adjustment screw properly. I was having a problem with my engine stalling at every stop sign so we adjusted it up to keep it from stalling now the stalling problem is fixed but I believe the screw needs to go down more or up more because I am having the dieseling problem and I know the carburetor choke is not engaging to the proper low idle and I believe it's because of screw needs to go down more or up more
My problem is the opposite. It kicks down and, until it fully warms up, wants to die. Especially when I go to put it in drive. It's a Quadrajet on a 454 Chevy. But looking at the video I believe I have linkage problems. I have great vacuum and no leaks anywhere. The motor has 99k miles on it. Maybe time for a new rebuild. David 🐈
Gotta set ur idle screw on drivers side of carb. Get a buddy or ur wife/husband? With the car warmed up Have them put car in neutral, THEN start it w the ac on and then adjust the idle screw in small increments til it gets to the desired RPMS. And with engine cold adjust ur choke plate(black cover on choke housing on pass side w) if necessary
I've replaced the heat riser tubing and I have a brand new carb. My high idle is still sticking. What could possibly be the problem?
Good video, thanks
great job dude...please do the same tutorial for a ford 1986 4.9 6 cyl YFA carburetor. the choke is not kiking up or down like it is supposed to.
adjust ur choke plate. I had same issue and realized I had it set lean(to the left of the notches on choke housing.) Not even in the notch area lol And i moved it CW and it stopped idling so high AND quit jumping back to high idle started running the way it should 👍 ull have to adjust the fast idle screw(while still cold)
Serious question I have an 89 Cadillac brougham And I just recently swapped out the 307 to a 455, my question is will the ECM adjust to a pro-form 650 electric choke double pumper
Well... I was hoping to see how to properly adjust fast idle cam.
I HATE automatic chokes.. manual is the way to go!
lol i like your explantion we call pinkin in the uk nice vid man
I sprayd the linkage and it still won't spring back it won't even move when I hit the gas pedal the gas flows and the throttle cable moves everything moves but the fast idle cam won't move acceleration pump lever moves is it my electric choke or the relay
Drop the shifter into drive and shut it off with the brakes on.. It wont keep running.
Why tf you got Ron Jeremy as your pfp 😂
@@caelanreeves9760 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
$4/$5/gallon is no joke these days!
Hi I cleaned the cam area of choke twice. It kicks down now. I got it to kick down a few times by pumpin foot the foot feed . Can I assume the heat riser is working okay ?
Hello My Dad HAs A 1979 Chevy Monte Carlo with 68,000 original miles
He's had since 79 all original with The chevy 267 V8 4.4L 2bbl
Rochester Dualjet 210 and just recently the engine has been racing
like crazy will not go off of fast idle a bit, won't kick down . What
would be causing this it is not deiseling , Thanks
I had a new carburetor put on and its still doing the same thing, what it could be?

You’re a god.
I just pulled over at a light and jumped out because my car was a tap away from full throttle, I hit the coke and saw it snap and the revving backed off. Scared the shit out of me man, then it dieseled.
Omw to grab some carb cleaner. Is there ANY lubricant that I could use or just the carb cleaner and I’m good?
you typically don't need any lubricant, as that will attract the dust/dirt that caused the issue in the first place. That being said, some graphite spray should help you, it's dry and doesn't attract dirt. If you're cheap, just rub pencil lead (which is graphite) alone the moving points of the linkage and that should help :-)
the thumbnail picture😂he got the look like he's like my precious😄😄😄😄to the carburetor😂😭
Awesome man thanks for this vid
good video.
anti diesel solenoid needed
i have a 1406 can not get it to idle-just checked out by a good carb man-i real short screw the one you can only adjust with linkage wide open,i cant semr to get that right --got any sugestion thanks
You mentioned that voltage to choke could be wrong. Why didn't you tell us what the voltage should be.
You would seriously have a ball with my 87 Chevy Caprice. She needs major help and I'm not car savy like you are.
I had to get a carb spring for my caprice cuz the car would cost In a parking lot at 10 to 15 mph
I wish I knew how much money I waisted in cold weather with sticking high idle choke. 😖
runing it in high ideal cut you mpg by about half lol
Hey wolf pug I was wondering if you could help me out I have a 1984 Delta 88 Royal Brougham 307 5L I have owned the car for 12 years it has been parked in my garage for six of those 12 years recently try to get it started bought new battery new distributor new coil new plugs but still have original distributor cap and rotor and plug wires I flushed out all the old gas put new gas all new fluids found top dead center stab the distributor in I am getting a crank BUT No start No spark situation I was wondering if you could help me out. I checked the codes and it keeps reading 12 12 12 12 over again and when I was checking the codes a noise from my Holley 4-barrel where the electric connection is kept making a ticking noise have you ever heard of that can you help me out?
Car is all original.. ..
i think i have a kick down problem
25? WTF you look 45 then 😂
dude you are hilarious😂😂
come fix my '83 F150... won't kick off high idle
Try and adjust ur choke plate. I had same issue and realized I had it set lean(to the left of the notches on choke housing.)

@Robuerto Diaz I will try it...the previous owner butchered the auto choke thing and install some sort of manual one...I'm in the process of deleting that and finding a new auto-electric choke... will try what you said when i get it sorted.
@@darickymeister same here. Some of the hot air chokes can be switched to the electric by just switching the cover which i did and I still don't have The wire hooked up not sure which wire or if I just needa run a new one
