Hi all,
I have recently noticed a distinct distance between the curb idle when I first
start my Mk1 and after driving for a bit. When I start the engine the "fast"
idle (1200 or so) engages and after warming up it correctly kicks down to
"curb" idle (900). After driving however the idle stays up around 12-1400
whenever I stop and put the car into neutral or engage the clutch. My Mk1 has
a pretty much stock 260 with a Holley 4bbl (465 cfm) Model 4160.
I was wondering if anybody else has had similar issues and what was their
diagnosis.
My first inclination is that this is more likely a problem with the accelertor
linkange as opposed to a carb problem. I only say that since the engine idles
correctly at curb (900) and fast (1200) idle levels early on and it is only
after pressing the gas pedal during driving does the higher curb idle level
occur.
Thanks,
Jim Lindner
