How can the Cold and Hot Idles be adjusted on my 81 Vanagon? It idles really low, and today would not start, I think because it wasnt getting enough fuel? I kept turning it over and foolin with the gas peddle. It finally started and stalled a few times, but I got home :)

What do listmembers reccomend for spark plugs. I used only BOSCH in my Old 1600sp, since they did not have the habit of seizing and ripping out threads, is this also true with an 81 2.0L, or are there better plugs on the market?

PS- Oil change went great today. Thanks for all the help. The ASI is noe enjoying a vintage Synthetic 15W50.
