My idle is very low. maybe 500 RPM's. I would like to raise the RPM so less warm up is required to start driving without restarting everytime I come to a stop sign. Thank you, Jeff

My L-Jet 1.8 idles great on initial start-up and a bit low as it's warming up / stalls on decel at traffic lights. After it's completely warmed up it idles well, maybe a tad bit high.
Is a lazy AAV the cause? One thing I found that helped was having a fully charged battery, especially when the headlights and /or brake lights were on. Low battery voltage from sitting definitely made the stalling worse. |
