Either the idle stabilizer is not working or you have another performance problem. A simple adjustment is not the answer. Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of James Benthall Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2005 10:30 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Making Idle Adjustments Folks, I tried looking in the archives but the website must be down. I know I have gotten the information before but can't seem to find it right now. Can someone shoot me a link to an idle adjustment page (or explain it if its not too much trouble). I have my idle on my 87 Westy running at about 950 rpm (per Bentley). This is in park. When I put in drive with foot on the brake it goes down to 750 rpm. The problem is when I have the AC blowing it will drop down to 500 rpm, and periodically dip down even further causing me to die out. (I have been looking for a job and its not easy driving around in a monkey suit in 95 degree weather with no AC!) I'm hoping I can just raise the idle up a bit to maybe 1,100 rpm and that will fix the problem. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance. james |
