Bruno; For coolant temp sensor refer to page 24.62 in Bentley. Unplug ECU and measure between pins 6 and 10 on the wiring harness plug. This checks plug, wires, connectors and sensor. Refer to page 24.45 for resistance vs. temperature chart. Zero celsius should give 5.75K ohms as near as I can tell. The idle switch is an exact adjustment. It is also outlined very well in the Bentley. The idle position set screw, idle air bypass and idle sensor should be se in proper sequence since they interact with each other. The chances of you randomly hitting the exact combination are slim. Get the Bentley, or maybe check the local library for one.

Tried to adjust the switch but the exenter screw is stuck and the allen wrench tuns inside the head....But I did try to lower the idle speed by adjusting the set screw to approx.800 RPM. Now the throttle switch closed in idle. However, now the idle has become unstable (pulsating)....Unfortunaltey, there seems to be no noticeable difference. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
