Subject:question: idle fluctuation problem on deceleration? (1.9L wbx)
Date:Sun, 13 May 2007 15:15:03 EDT

heres a question ..  on my '85 doka (1.9L wbx, automatic trans)  when im
driving on the freeway, and get off at a exit ramp, when i decelerate, i can see
the tach fluctuating briefly, rpm's going up and down...  -its just when i
decelerate - when i let off the gas after WOT..   when i get to the bottom of the
exit ramp/stop sign whatever, and idling, it idles fine - no fluctuation..
its just when i initially decelerate that i get this idle fluctuation..

i dont get that "hunting idle" problem while sitting still.   i had that
probem before and i changed out the AFM and it fixed that..

im thinking this is a problem with the TPS (throttle positioning sensor)
any ideas??

anyone else had this idle problem with initial deceleration after WOT?

chris
