[Re: Stalling after shifting, while slowing to idle in gear.]

[losinit at usa.net (Cathy Boyko)]

Thanks for reminding me, I need a new one for the MkI, if it self adjusts, it
likely needs a O ring, they'll back off on their own if it is sloppy. I had to
use a wee wrench on the new one in the 16V, it was so snug. Cathy

cranked the idle up to about 1000rpms and no problems. That car has the
'self-adjsuting idle screw' mod, where it tightens over time so as soon as
idle gets around 700rpm, whenever I coast to a stop light or something, it
dies.
