James Wrote: I replaced coolant temp sensor with new one from vw dealer (i even checked the continuity of the old and new sensors: the new one is tiny 100ohms higher than the old one) I also sprayed the idle stabilizer valve with carb cleaner. Have you had your O2 Sensor checked. I recently had trouble with idling and surging when accelerating. Had the O2 sensor replaced and I am running just fine now. I had the Bosch type replacement installed which is expensive $130 or so . There are less expensive parts (O2 sensors)manufactured.(Whether they work as well I don't know) Bruce brucen@bellsouth.net -- Joyce and Bruce Ormond by the sea, Fl Cooler by a mile |
