As the title says (the idle is around 950/1000) but it doesn't drop down to that very fast, it is almost like driving a vehicle with a sticky throttle. I have just installed a new (rebuilt by Jeff Bowlsby) relay board and cleaned up my grounds and cleaned the engine compartment. Any ideas what is going on?

I have this problem in a 356. If I keep the car in gear until the engine is at 1k rpms before I pop out of gear, perfect idle. If not, the idle slowly drops.
Do you guys think this indicates sticking advance plates or weak springs? Not to hijak, but if so, you may want to do this "test" to narrow down to weak dizzy springs or gummed up advance plates. |
