Howdy, I hope everyone is having a great Saturday either driving, camping or tinkering with their beloved Vanagons. I, however, am having a bit of a delimma. I posted earlier in the week about getting back from an 800 plus mile trip to Oregon last weekend and that after the trip I was experiencing a surging idle at low RPM's. This is after the engine warms up. So I'm checking out the throttle valve switch doing the tests described on page 24.35 of the Bentley. I have the single switch obviously. What isn't getting through my thick skull is the feeler gauge adjustment screw stuff. By loosening screw 2 and adjusting screw 3 I see no movement between the idle stop and the idle adjusing screw. I can turn it both ways to the max and see no gap closing or opening. I'm obviously missing something here. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanx, Paul Rogers 85 Westy |
