Subject:91 Carat - Rpm hunting

Volks, you finally convinced me - Scott, David, Ken, others - to check
the throttle switch per Bentley. Bentley confirmed what youwere trying
to tell me. So the the FI service manual. Basically - to paraphrase "If
the settings are not correct, the engine  will surge when moved just off
idle." That is exactly what it does. Idles great. But move that pedal a
hair, and then it hunts of surges.

Question: As I see it, this is principally about adjusting gap with a
feeler gage, right? In reading. I see that resistances at open and
closed positions can be read on a meter. Any cautions there?

Thanks,

John
