My '75 2.0 idles fast when hot.

I have replaced all the hoses and injector seals, adjusted the timing, done all the tune-up stuff, etc. I suspect there may be an air leak, but I'm running out of places to find it.

The only place I haven't refurbished yet is around the plenum. I want to take that out next, clean it up, paint the intake tubes, replace any gaskets/seals, etc. But I haven't been there yet, so I'm hoping for some input - photos of the disassembled parts would be nice.

Throttle-body gaskets, the short pieces of hose that connect/seal the intake tubes to plenum (what do you call those???).... what else do I need? Anything tips before I dig in?

Maybe we can hook up....and I'll take a look see.

Thanks Geoff. I don't care what Blair says, you're ok! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
I'll take you up on that. I'm also curious to find out how healthy my MPS is and would appreciate your evaluation.

Here's a shocker.... I stopped by my local VW shop, where I've picked up great deals on parts before... looking for the little boots that seal the intake runners to the airbox. What do you call them? THESE:

Ok, so, what are four of those worth?





I was quoted $42.00.

Cough, hack, choke. Ok, more than I expected.

What is so special about those? It doesn't get that hot there... Why couldn't regular rubber hose pieces be used there? Maybe use hose clamps to make sure they seal air tight? School me please.
