‘74 1.8L L-Jetronic Cold Start Low Idle, Mystery solved! Options

[Van B]

Ok fellas, here’s the run down Aux Air Regulator (AAR) and Cold Start Valve (CSV)/injector both work fine. Many of you have also been keeping up with my high idle issue that we figured out.

But yet, when the car is cold, i.e. room temp, I don’t get the high idle I should on start-up. Instead she cranks a bit and then lumbers to life. Idle lopes around 700-800rpm and then smooths out as it warms.

In all other aspects of operation, the engine seems to be pretty happy.

Thoughts? Experience? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

So, I just googled that address. Kinda sad to see that it’s nothing but a strip mall now. But when you look at it on google maps, and see the strange layout of the parking lot, you can definitely tell that it was a car dealer on a corner.
