I searched for this a This is *not* normal. It's the precise symptom of a faulty throttle-position switch. On the throttle body you have either two switches, one of which must close at idle and the other at full throttle; or else a single switch with a cam that does the same thing. If yours is not closing at idle, you'll get this same problem. david David Beierl - Providence, RI http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '84 Westy "Dutiful Passage" '85 GL "Poor Relation" |
