An update on my 88 90 10v idle woes... Thanks going out to Chris Ice and Steve Buchholz for their off-line advice. I haven't licked it yet, but I'll keep after it. I was able to get under the hood over the weekend and did some debugging with the aid of the Bentley Manual. I determined that the idle stabilizer valve opens and closes when sent the proper current (hooked it up to the battery and touched it on and off). The question now is whether the idle switch on the throttle is telling it what to do correctly. I was unable to get an answer with my ohm-meter when the switch harness is un- plugged. Audi's testing tool maintains the connection and lets you tap into the circuit. Why would the switch need current to work? A switch is a switch, no? Oh well, I'm building alligator clips and I'll rig it up and test it later this week. In the mean-time, I'm getting the front susp. bushings replaced and new shocks all around. hooray! I'll keep ya posted on my adventures. Dennis dennisr@altia.com PS: BTW, with the warm weather, the idle problems dissappeared. There is supposed to be an air diverter thermostat before the air filter that does it's thing around 50f.... Nah.... couldn't be it.... could it?
