stickedy Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I have the problem with my "new" EA82T car, that the engine revolutions are between approx. 1,500 to 2000 rpm while the car is stationary. That is "a bit" too much. What could be the cause of that? Does someone have an idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try first the stationairy adjustment : looking from the front it is at the right side at the rear of the alu cover with turbo inscription. Is it a L series ?

stickedy Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 Interestint. Where is this high idle valve? I will check this tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4WDFrenzy Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Behind the throttle body assembly. It will have a small brass piece with a provision for adjustment via a flathead screwdriver. Turn it in(like you are tightening a screw) to lower the idle, and back it off(unscrew) to increase idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 High idle valve is on top of the t-stat housing...has a plug with two wires going to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4WDFrenzy Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 DOH!!! I was thinkin' about the idle adjustment screw. That is what I get for staying up for more than 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
