Rough idling, Mk III golf ABS engine

Markh 23 April 2005 00:30:20
 Hi Stevo,

Been reading the thread with interest, seems you have solved your
problem at last!

I have an almost identical problem with a 1992 mk III driver ABS
engine, however it's done high mileage at 130k.

It runs very well at speed but has intermitent idling, searching
between 850 -1000 rpm, but usually (but not always) fine after being
driven for about 20 mins.
When starting from cold it often stalls and often feels jerky on
accelleration/decel­eration, and running slow in traffic is a pain in
the a*se.

I replaced the rubber tube next to the rear of the rocker cover which
was also perished, so i'm pretty sure no unmetered air is entering,
but still it runs poorly.

The stepper motor - throttle valve potentiometer - needed replacing
last year, as this is working overtime searching for the correct
idling speed.

I have gone round the houses replacing fuel filters, HT leads,
throttle body parts are all spotless, etc, each time i think i've
found something I think i've cracked it.

Compression test is fine, however i'm thinking of trying to make it
someone elses problem for a few hundred quid....

Wondered if you or any others had any bright ideas
