Re: 8v Idle Adjustment, etc.

[Randy & Michele Hopkins <randyrh@jps.net>]

On my 87 16v I had the idle problem and no power intermittently for a couple of
weeks until I tracked it to the air bypass valve.  While running crappy I
disconnected the electrical connector to it and it ran fine.  I took the valve
out and sprayed carb cleaner in it and then blew it out with an air hose and
have not had the problem since.

Hope this helps,
