Subject:Low Idle w/A/C on 91 Westy
From:Mark B. Magee

Volks,
My 91 Westy w/4 speed is idling a little low with A/C pumping, cold
engine and hot. Idle is around 780 to 800 w/A/C on cold engine and hot
engine. This is causing my oil pressure alarm bell to go off with a hot
engine. Reviewing Bently has me confused:
Should I just tweak up the idle screw w/A/C on? I don't think there is
any "throttle kick up" valve or mechanism on the wasserboxer for the
A/C, I assume the throttle position switch performs this function.
Idle w/o A/C is still rather low, say 850. Any ideas before I start
tweaking with my Fuel Injection (Idle Screw)?
