Subject:Engine idle races in traffic
From:Gary McEachern
Date:Mon, 7 Aug 2000 11:50:51 EDT

Hello Volks
The last few times I have been stuck inn traffic in the hot weather in my
"90 Westy, the idle rises to 3000+ rpm. When I start to move again for a
while, the idle drops back down to normal (900-1000 RPM). The temp gauge
doesn't indicate overheating so I assume the problem is related to the
ambient temperature in the engine compartment. Is this a common symptom of a
known problem? I suspect the idle stabilizer valve, idle stabilizer control
or possibly the T2 sender.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Gary
