The vacuum advance is not supposed to do anything at idle, so you have yours hooked up in a non-standard way, that is likely to not be working the way you expect it to. I'm guessing that it is hooked up to manifold vacuum and is fully advanced at idle; pulling the hose off removes the advance and it dies. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
