intermittent problem with idle
I'm enjoying the heck out of my '83 944 but intermitently experience a problem at idle. It will sit at around 1100 rpm and then falter and drop to around 800 then immediately come back up. If at a red light it might do it repeatedly and the next time not at all.
One thing that's weird is it seems that while it's doing this I can pull the electric lead off any injector and it stops the pulsing. Any ideas? |

your idle should be around 800, not 1100. Sounds like your dealing with either an electrical issue or a vacuum leak.

+1 for vacuum leak - mine does more or less the same thing, and through the help of other members here I've determined the cause to be a vacuum leak.
