This message did not get posted on my first try, so I do it again: Hello Volks, My 87 Synchro Digifant has some warmup problems: Cold start: Somewhat reluctant to idle then fine, then little or no idle after 1 min, then fine. lukewarm start: starts okay, after about 40 secs. sputters, doesn't want to go over 2200 rpm for about a minute (even with full throttle in neutral); it's like driving at idle speed for a moment, when I coach it to about 3000 RPM it works fine and when the engine reaches temperature it's running fine as well. hot start: works fine, engine runs ok at working temperature. I suspect the airflow control unit on the airfilter, but the resistance of the thermostat checks out ok. Any ideas? Does anyone know of a good description who does what at which temperature with the Digifant?
