Idle Hunting

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

Mine (the headache) hunted wildly when the O2 sensor was dead, in 
combination with full rich mixture. Replacing the sensor helped some, but 
leaning the mix solved it. That was after replacing the idle screw, and the 
ratty old vaccuum lines .
HTH, Cathy

>>I have the car running well (I think) but the engine has the tendancy to 
>>"hunt". It idles up and down over quite a range of RPM. It drops to 850 
>>then idles up to 1000-1100 over a span of 5 seconds
>>Once the car is moving it seems ok, but just sitting it ramps up and down.
>>My DPR STILL cannot be set after changing the motor and the sensors. So
