Re: [T3] Surging at idle when warm

["Nico teWinkel" <ntewinkel@yahoo.com>]

That's exactly the problem I'm having!
It was worse at first - basically doing this when cold too, so I replaced
the Voltage Regulator (new Bosch 30amp). That cleared it up somewhat, but it
is still doing the thing you described - and only when the engine is warm.
I do have new spark plugs and new distributor points, rotor and cap. A
mechanically inclined friend of mine helped me set the gaps (which are
preset on the plugs), and the points gap and dwell (?) or whatever they call
that thing with the distributor points.
I'll be very interested to hear the solution to this one :)

Thanks,
-Nico
