Volks, you finally convinced me - Scott, David, Ken, others - to check the throttle switch per Bentley. Bentley confirmed what youwere trying to tell me. So the the FI service manual. Basically - to paraphrase "If the settings are not correct, the engine will surge when moved just off idle." That is exactly what it does. Idles great. But move that pedal a hair, and then it hunts of surges. Question: As I see it, this is principally about adjusting gap with a feeler gage, right? In reading. I see that resistances at open and closed positions can be read on a meter. Any cautions there?
