warm up idle

Post by d_jay1 »

the idle on my new '90 scala injection goes a bit mad when it's started from cold. it rises and dips about every second and stalls without your foot on the gas. I'm presuming this is related to the cold start valve but this is my first injection model, so i'm in need of what to look at!

someone seems to have bypassed a valve to the rear of the engine with an electrical connector to another connector/solanoid at the front via a long wire. will take pics and post when i get a chance.

i reckon its the WUR to be honest, as i don't have any other problems (as yet!).
