I have an 87 Westy (2.1l). The last 2 days it has been exhibiting an extremely low idle at cold startup. It will fire up quickly, which is normal, but then will idle way low, like 300 RPM. Just barely hanging on, so to speak. If I give it gas it will respond, though it seems like it runs a little rough. Sometimes it'll clear up as soon as I give it throttle and then it'll idle correctly. Other times it takes a minute. But in all cases it corrects itself seemingly as the engine gets warmed up and runs fine from then on. I searched the archive and there's an exact description of this from about a year ago. The suggestions from listers at that time was to replace the Temp II sensor. I'm unable, at this point in time, to find out whether or not that cured the problem. Any input/advice from the community would be appreciated. Thanks, -Roger 87 Westy
