Hello all, Lately my '88 w/b has been stalling for the first few minutes when cold when coming to a stop. When restarting, it needs a bit of throttle (not much) to get going. Cranking it with no gas usually does not work, which is not normal for FI I've checked the microswitch on the throttle body - it's fine. It runs great otherwise, so I was hoping someone has had this problem & can point out some quick checks. I don't have time to do a thorough check of everything now, since we're too busy camping... :) ps: The idle is quite steady so I think the idle stabilizer is ok, it only seems to stall if pushing the clutch in at 2000 rpm +. One clue is that it now idles at ~900 when cold where it used to be at around 1100 until warmed up. Shawn '88 Westy 332k (Kyra) '85 Jetta TD 350k (Jenni)
