Find someone you can borrow an idle control unit from, or take it to a mechanic that has one. These are all failing after 30 years in a wet environment, and can cause this sort of problem, among others. http://www.gowesty.com/product-details.php?v=&id=23468 Stuart, BTDT -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Jvk Sent: Saturday, August 26, 2017 9:57 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: High idle at stops Morning all, I've recently developed an idling issue after replacing the coil in our 86 2.1L. At a cold start, the van will idle at around 1000 rpm. After a few minutes, the idle will build to 2500 rpm. The van runs well on the road, but whenever I pull up to a stop light the rpm's bump up to 2500. I can tap the gas and get it to drop to 1000 for a sec, but then it's right back up there at 2500... The AFM is fairly new and I pulled the rubber boot from it to the intake and there seems to be no cracks/air leaks. Any thoughts on what to look for next? Thanks, Jvk Sent from my mobile |
