RE: RPM Problem

[Greg Baxter <gbaxter@valleybrook.com>]

Hey Jeff - 

I had the same problem with my 8v - it was a stuck throttle body. The larger (secondary?) opening would stick open a bit, and voila! After revving the engine a bit, I'd be idling at 1500-2000 rpm. All I did was spray some WD40 on the moving parts on the outside, and haven't had any problems since. (FYI, it's a 16v throttle body...)

Damn! I'm bored here at work... =)


Greg.

Hey guys and Gals?

I have a small problem with my '87 16v.... For some reason when the car is
warm and sometimes when it is cold the car will idle at 2000.... no its
not the idling that needs to be adjusted i know that because when i first
start the car it is at normal like 1000.. It only happens when the car
goes over 2000 RPMs that it will "stick"  Has anyone ever had this
happen?? Does anyone knoe what it could be? Please e-mail me.. :) (rymes)
Also when you go into gear it suddently drops down to normal and then
starts going up.... I cant figure it out.....

Could it be a stuck injector? Like good old number 5???
Thanx in advance...
