Subject:hunting idle when cold
From:Eric Henning
Date:Fri, 3 Jul 1998 17:03:34 -0400

even though my recent trip went smoothly in my 80 westy i did notice
when i first start this 2 liter, air cooled that the idle hunts up to
1000 rpm, then down to almost stalling then back again over and over.
once driven and warm idle is rock solid arounf 800-900 rpm.

is this indicative of idle stabilizer or would a bum stabilizer show up
all the time?  i beleive this federal model does not have an oxy sensor.

any suggestions?

thanks
eric
