Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to how to stop my S4 N/A from idling so high (around 3000rpm) at startup? its only an intermittent problem, and as soon as you tap the accelerator, it drops down to its normal 1500rpm or so. I'm still using the thermowax etc. Kinda seems to me like a sticky cable or something (but i'm not hittin the accelerator when i start up, and its not stuck idling high when i shut it down before this happens).



Cheers

its supposed to do that. that would be the accelerated warm up system (aws), i dont think the na's have a seperate valve like everything else

Either tap the gas pedal after it starts or start the car in first gear. You should also be able to unplug the valve if there's a separate one. There's an AWS valve on TII's.

I still have to decide on what I want to do with the 91 coupe. I want to try a 6 port turbo setup, but I'll have to tear down the motor to port and pin it, as well as swap in my 8.5:1 rotors.

Yeah, I have parking in a nice private area. I was going to take a place in Dublin, but that was kind of far.
