Car is a 74 djet. When I first start it cold it idles steady at around 1200rpm. After a minute or two it starts to jump back and forth from around 500rpm to 1200rpm or so. Any suggestions on what to look for? CHT? AAR?

i would check the AAR and its adjacent hoses, if its a cht issue it may really be an ecu issue and or as well.. the wierdness of it and that it happens in only 1 or 2 minutes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) usually ARR leak makes high idle, PVC valve issue?? sounds like it is going lean on the mixturte after 2 minutes ect..

below is copied from the ecu doc. link: http://members.rennlist.com/pbanders/idle.htm



My idle is rough and surges when it's warming up
Lean idle mixture during warm-up. According Brad Mayeur, a 914 expert, who worked on these cars in the '70's at a Porsche dealership, poor running during warm-up due to lean mixture was a common problem on the 2.0L engines, not as common on the 1.7L's. The factory "fix" for this problem was to install a spacer between the CHT and the head. The spacer delayed the CHT's response to the changes in head temp, causing the ECU to deliver a richer mixture. I had this problem, and first made my own spacer, then got a very nice replica spacer from Brad, which totally fixed my warm-up issues. Locate Brad using Google if you're interested in getting a spacer.
