I'm not sure that anything they did, other than fix a loose connection, had any effect at all. It is just possible that their emissions tester is set a tad lax, or that they were doing you a favor. What year is this? If it is a 72 or 73 with the dashpot on the throttle this may be correct. If it is earlier, the throttle valve switch may not be set right and this is keeping the throttle somewhat open. I doubt if the latter is the case, as your idle speed is still pretty good. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
