Re: SPICA question
I experienced the exact same thing (cold 2 liter starting at fast idle, then
getting faster, then getting slower when hot). I made it happen
(unintentionally) when going through the tune-up procedure outlined in the
Braden Bible. OK, so I didn't do everything exactly by the book (big
mistake, now I'm smarter). The problem occurred from a maladjusted long
link (and possibly short link, too). The cure, for me, was to start over
and follow the tune-up procedure exactly. My problem now, and has been
since buying the car a year ago, is a very slow idle when cold, then moving
up to normal when warm. I believe this to be a nearly failed TA, which I
will be replacing soon.
Good Luck.
