Erratic Idle solved.

Post by canada karl »

Well it seems the idle increases in Park and Neutral and stabalizes at 800 rpm in Drive so it's all good. I've never owned an E12 Automatic before so I guess a bit higher idle at times is normal depending on gear selection.

My 79 auto idles at 1100 in neutral, 950 in gear, I’ve never seen higher numbers.
