Subject:High Idle until warm
From:Bruce Todd

As the weather turns colder I seem to have an issue with a high
idle...approx 3000 rpm until the motor warms up after about 7 minutes or
so.  When I start the van the idle is around 1000 rpm - however once I
start driving down the block and then put in the clutch or put the van in
neutral say for stopping at a light, the motor will rev at the 3000 rpm
mark.  I can kick it down but that only lasts until I begin driving again.
The motor is 1986 digifant.  I have a relatively short commute to work and
by the time I get there the van is idling at its regular mark.

Thanks

Bruce
