Re: [T3] hunting at idle


I sorted mine with a tweak on the pressure sensor, but you really
need a gas analyser to check the CO level is still OK.  Some control
units have an enrichment screw on top to save removing the pressure
sensor seal (illegal in some states?).  Make sure there are no
vacuum leaks; the changing pressure in the manifold can cause it
too.  Is the distributor shaft OK - not too worn?
