Okay, I found 3 vacuum hoses that were split or not properly clamped
and they have been repaired. The idle now seems to have settled a
bit although it still hunts some. But now when I disengage the clutch
the idle dives so low that the car typically stalls. If I bring the
idle down slowly it will settle in around 1,000 RPM and stay there.
I'm thinking that maybe my throttle bypass valve is shot or misadjusted.
The manual says that this little beast can't be adjusted but must
be replaced. Is this the most likely problem or do I still have
something more obvious that should be checked?
