I'm in need of ideas to resolve an idle speed dilemma. My 914 is a 1975 1.8L which I bought about a year ago. It seems to be very stock and still has the L Jetronic FI system in place. Here is the challenge.... I have been using the process in the Haynes manual for setting idle speed. If I set the speed when the car is warm, the next time t is started cold it is difficult to start and will idle so slow it barely stays running. Once warmed up all is good. If I set the idle speed right after starting before it is up to temperature - after it does warm up - it will be idling at over 2,000 RPM. Outside of this issue the car runs good and strong. The plugs are perfect color - so no indication of too lean or rich mixture. Thanks for your thoughts or ideas!
