Ive searched every idle-related thread on this board...cant find a thing on this. When I start my 87 Turbo II it never goes to 3000 RPM to warm up and it will idle briefly but once it warms up a little it wont idle anymore, just dies. Seems to pull fairly strong and is drivable still (just hard to heel toe at stop signs). Any suggestions on this? Ive tried adjusting the TPS several times.

fast idle cam might be stuck ? you might have leaky injectors causing the car to flood when you shut it off

It will idle now but as it gets warmer the idle drops too low...I got it to idle by setting the TPS wrong...this is confusing...also still will NOT start when hot regardless of unflooding. I checked the BAC valve and it is good but I dont think the ECU is sending the proper voltage. When should it send to the BAC and how much should it send?
