Re: [T3] idle problems

OK, the keys here are rich running and doesn't respond to idle
adjustment.  You've probably got an air leak somewhere.  On mine, it's
usually because I've knocked the hose off going to the pressure sensor
from the air distributor.  Can happen easily when messing around with
the left side of the engine.  Goes from the pressure sensor on the
left side under the deck to a nipple under the left side of the air
distributor.  Barely visible from the rear and hard to touch, but you
can snake the hose back onto it if you're careful.

I think you're a little high on the fuel pressure, should be around 28
psi.

Just make sure that you never touch the screw on the pressure sensor,
some folks I've found thought that was the idle adjustment.

Web and newsgroups can help a lot, but you really need the Bentley
guide for messing with the FI.
