My '73 2.0 sat for a week while I was on vacation. I fired it up this morning to head to work, and the idle was super high - 3500 rpm. It has been cold (for this area) last night's low was 30. I tried to back it up and see if things would calm down, but running it made me nervous and I was late for work so I took my backup vehicle. This 914 has been driven nearly every day and has run well since I bought it last spring, so this is unusual.
Where should I start? I checked the throttle cable at the engine, and it isn't stuck. Is something frozen? Should I just try to drive is a few blocks and warm it up? Thanks, cassidy 73 2.0 |
