I had a similar problem in my '87 for a while. It wouldn't idle once the engine warmed up just a little bit. Though people told me it wouldn't fix the problem, I came across another '87 and borrowed its idle stabilizer valve. Upon installation, I started the engine and it idled perfectly. These valves can be cleaned, but I don't know the best method for this. David '87 non-GL camper for sale
