Subject:      RE: My Van Idles Too Dern Fast

_______________________________________________________________________________ There you have it. My Van Idles Too Dern Fast. To refresh my memory, its a fuel rejected two liter. It will idle slower if I do something with the timing, but then my mileage goes south, and I lose some peppiness. I am actually considering paying someone actual money to look at it :(

Anywhay- ideas on the runaway train? Checked my auxillary air, the idle screw is _all_ the way in, throttle cable slack, etc etc. Air Leaks? How would I find these?

My neighbors anxiously await an answer....

I was trying to figure out my 2000 with a similar end in mind, my engine idles too slowly... it's not as easy as it was with my '69 bug Type 1 engine, spent some time with an oily copy of the Bentley manual. There are three or four things that need to be simultaneously tweaked. My son woke up before I could memorize them, much less try them out...
