Could the idle just be set too low? The aux air regulator slows down the idle as the engine warms up. If you set the idle with the engine cold, then once it warms up it may die as the idle drops too low. An idle of 800/900 is correct for MT/AT FI. This is higher than for carbed cars. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
