Here are some idle and general air/ fuel related items, attend to them
all (and more) and go from there;
1. Injector seals. Just replace them.
2. O-ring for idle adjustment screw, maybe this is a Mk1 thing.
3. Rubber hoses connecting hard vacuum lines to fittings.
4. Reconditioning ground connections, add supplemental grounds, I can
detail this; if so start a new thread.
5. Any water leaks?
