My 1989 Suburban 350 engine starts fine then after a few mins idling the engine idle speed picks up and then dies like it flooded/ran too rich. Cant start and run it again till it cools. Changed O2 sensor, air/fuel fliters, plugs etc. Is there a sensor switch that is messing up engine vaccum?
Vehicle is locked in a mountain valley by a rockslide so I cant get it to a mechanics shop. Thanks!
