Greetings all!
My 84 300SD seems to idle a bit slow at idle. The tach reads about 600RPM. If I start it when cold, with the AC on and crank the wheel hard getting out of a parking spot it will die. Doesn't do it when warm. It starts right up and runs smooth, just slow. Car seems to run perfect otherwise. What should I look for? Thanks in advance!!! John |

I think valve adjustment will fix your problem from time to time valves may too tight. hope this help

Be sure the rack dampener hasn't been adjusted too far in. Back it off a couple of turns for a couple days to check. Mark how far you turn it.
