I had this problem with my 83 carb Rabbit. I think it happened when I had the vacuum advance and retard lines reversed.

I thought I had tuned CIS-E right, the DPR was reading from 4.9-6.2 fluctuating, the timing was dead on at 6 degrees, so I figured I would complete it right and set the ISV duty cycle.... I think that was my mistake. The bentley states that the test lead of which you connect the positive lead of the multimeter to is the one with a blue/gray wire.... fuck, there is only a green wire, and a blue/brown wire with a yellow plastic guard, the other with a red plastic guard, respectively. I took the plunge, and attempted to tune my ISV duty cycle from that... I thought I had gotten it right, the meter read 23% stable, not fluctuating. I took it for a hell drive, and then drove it back popped the hood to look around.. I noticed the exhaust manifold glowing.. fuck, it half melted my poly rack bushing! Shut the car off, and park it. WTF did I do wrong?Was I not thinking, and did this in the wrong order? I remember the thread before of the glowing exhaust manifold, and
> im sure it's caused by excessive EGT, but as to the cause of the excessive EGT, im not able to recall... but I bet it has something to do with my wonderful CIS-E follies. Piece of shit in question is an 86 16v car. Any ideas? I think tomorrow after work, I may try and tune the bitch again. Peace,
