RE: cams & idle

["Patrick Bureau" <pbureau@home.com>]

last time my idle was doing the up and down dance, now mind you this is on
an 8v engine
was the kickdown switch that was faulty, you know that little switch atop
the throttle body with 2 wires on it, seems if faulty, it shorts out inside
making think the computer you have pressed on teh gaz, making the fuel
system push more gas, but the throttle boddy is not wide open therefore
stalling the engine, and the system recuperates has the shorting only last a
single moment on and off constantly. I changed mine and it solved the
problem.
If you have a 16v I am unsure if your rocco has this device, I am a little
ignorant on 16v engines. but food for though none the less.

Patrick

What are these Neuspeed "Euro spec cams"? Are you just referring to the euro
intake *cam* (i.e. singular/not intake plus exhaust)? If so, this should not
upset your idle at all.

Btw, my idle is very inconsistent. Sometimes it says steady at 1500rpms and
then it will drop right down to 800 and then bounce up to 1200
repeatedly. -up and down and up and then back to 1500, etc. My injector
o-rings are fine, but I haven't futzed with the idle stabilizer. How does
one clean it?
