Owned 76 2.0 for two weeks now.

Lots of little jobs completed. But I have an idle that’s 1100 rpm. The idle screw is virtually fully in.

I suspect the AAV is stuck slightly open when engine hot. If I pull the tube from the air intake and put my thumb over it, the revs drop to about 600 rpm.

Everything else is good. All hoses correct and no leaks.

Am I right in thinking the AAV should close up completely?

If it’s a stuck AAV, any recommendations for getting it freed up?

Cheers. Gary

Auxiliary Air Regulator (or Valve). Gives you a higher idle when the engine is cold. Serves as a leak from upstream of the throttle valve to downstream of it; is open when cold and closes when it heats up as the engine runs or as the small heating element in it warms up.

On D-jet cars (1.7, 2.0) it lives to the front-left of the Intake Air Distributor (the plenum part of the intake manifold). I think the location is similar on the L-jet 1.8s, but I don't remember.
