The idle speed is actually too low, that's why I suspect the aux air regulator. Do you guys know of suppliers that might have this part? I'm having difficulty finding it.

The two most likely causes of hunt at idle are supposedly: 1) idle speed set too high -- the ecu cuts out the injectors to bring it back down, then they kick in again when the rpms drop, which brings the idle back up, then it gets too high again, ecu cuts out injectors again... etc. 2) faulty auxiliary air regulator -Greg ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/ ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
