RE: CIS-E idle problems, 86 16v.

  Had a similar problem with my 87 16v except mine had an erratic idle that
would occasionally die when I came to a stop sign or light. I replaced the
idle stabilizer valve to the tune of $165 with no change to the problem.
Turned out I had a bad/abbynormal brain (engine control module) Changed this
out and no more problem. I got the module for free from a friend so I have
no idea as to cost of a new or used one.

Subject: CIS-E idle problems, 86 16v.

List
	The car idles at 2 grand once it warms up. It's very annoying.... I've
tried the following;

1. Swapping out the idle stabilizer with a known good. No go.
2. Replaced O2 sensor when installed new downpipe and fixed all exhaust
leaks.. no go.
3. Playing with the idle adjustment screw.... no difference.
Any ideas? I'd really like to get the idle down to normal, set the
mixture and timing, then have a nice drivable scirocco. Thanks,
