I've been seeing an intermittent low idle-sometime no idle with my Digifant 84 van 92 rabbit/fox/Jetta ecu, etc. This condition is occasional, when not happening, the engine behaves normally, my fuel consumption has not changed. My normal idle is about 900 rpm. Recently I have had the idle decide to run at around 400 rpm...it seems to be smooth, but 400 rpm is too low and now the motor sometimes dies down there. When I cycle the key and re start, it will again run at the low idle...no "reset"... I have a new temp II sensor and new plugs...the old plugs read normal. My idle control thingy hums as normal and I have no obvious new vacuum leaks. Multiple different fuel sources. Throttle switch seems to conform to the Bentley, though I have so far only check ed the mechanical, I have not run any electronic diagnosis yet. Anyone want to suggest the most likely cause to this sometimes dying of my Digifant inline? Tia, Don Hanson
