Subject:      Fast idle testing

My Vanagon has the dreaded fast idle problem 2200 rpm, but a blip on the
throttle to 4000 will bring it back to a normal idle. I was looking at the
shop manual intent on tracing the problem, and it makes reference to a
special wiring adapter needed to make some of the tests. Can I make one of
these? Or do I have to buy one from the dealer?

I pulled the relay and cleaned the contacts which made things a little better
- but not for long. There did not seem to be any burned components in the
relay - and the idle regulator valve appears to be buzzing.

Please note - During the past 17 years of operation, several gigabytes of Vanagon mail messages have been archived. Searching the entire collection will take up to five minutes to complete. Please be patient!
