Funky Idle Mojo
I have an 89' TII with some funky idle mojo. When I start the car cold, the enigine won't idle. Once the motor has warmed up, it will idle, but it only idles around 750rpm (and sometimes a little lower).This problem has become incresaingly worse. At first, cold starts just had a little trouble idling, but now they won't idle at all. Is this a typical tps or bac problem? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have the tb mod, but the point is that it won't even idle when I first start it. I have to keep pressing the gas [and drive it around] until it heats up. Does this sound like anything anyone can point out?

thermowax control the fast idle cam when it heats up the cam moves and controls your throttle plates clearance inside your intake. iI is basically your choke. It is located on the back of your intake it is a white valve with 2 hoses on it the Haynes manual explains how to see if it is working.

Finally started tearning things up again, even bought an ohmmeter, but the problem was simple. The little elbow that leads to the bypass valve had a HUGE crack in it. I had checked for leaks about two weeks ago, but now that sucker's obvious. The Turbo XS bov is a damn tight squeeze to fit in that elbow. I threw on a temporary solution until I can make it to autozone.
