Hi all
Well The Vanagon Is timed warm and starts and drives like a champ.

But the idle is a bit low. When cold on start up it fires up and runs textbook. after it warms up it starts to stumble and idle about 700 rpm + - 50.

so Ive adjusted the air bypass to get it up to about 750-800 rpm but it is still a little iffy. should i readjust the O2 cutoffs on the throttle body since every thing
came apart and was put back together?

BTW this is a 85 1.9L with the to throttle switches for reference.

any help would be great. Next im off to the vw dealer to get a few gallons of coolant to take out the straight distilled water that i used to flush the system.

c-ya Jonce
