    yeah, i do my best to hose it down aftewards. i have a big garage to hose it down in. takes about a half hour. i tried to get out early before the salt trucks hit too much and take the side roads where they haven't been yet. it's at Northern Ky. University. i had no reason to go out other than a joy ride. these cars are the best in the snow. i blow by everybody, even a couple 4x4s. now she sits. i'll be driving the Passat wagon FWD. (

    The MacGyver of 2002's. You are a genius when it comes to the "workaround". like having an empty mylar wine bag in your trunk for water. i admire that kind of thinking. what else you do you keep in your trunk for emergencies? i think you should start a FAQ about this kinda stuff.

    ...you talk your significant other into taking the "baby" when going out. ...you look at later model BMW's and think "if i had that i would sell it and buy 5 2002s" ...you baby talk to your car like "you're so good lookin! yes you are, yeeeess youuu ARE! ...re: cd's post: clockwise from left: Helga, Natascha, Ingrid and Betty

    in C.D.'s defense, he has helped countless people, myself included, with his vast knowledge. so he had a patriotic moment. big deal.

    the problem was rpm's were too high. before you start the car depress the gas pedal all the way to the floor once. that will close choke and the engine should idle at a higher rpm (around 1500) when it starts. then when the engine reaches temp you depress gas again and the rpm drops to normal (800-900). there is an adjustment screw for the fast idle cam. it should be located where i stated above depending on which carb you are using.

    there is a screw to adjust for the fast idle cam when choke is engaged. it was idling about 2500 and i backed it down to 1500 (not the idle speed on the back side of carb). end result, i fixed my problem step away from your keyboard, dipstick

    found out why it wouldn't idle. bad vacuum advance. i disconnected the hose and let it hang. idles great. also found the cold start idle screw. there a screw between the electric choke and the body of the carb. it is different than older 32/36's as i had my old one to compare it to.

    thanks c.d. i am going to tinker around with it tonight. i need to figure out what you mean by 3rd, 2nd, 1st cam step. i assume you mean the points of where it stops during cold start. 3rd being the highest idle point. i do know that if it is cold idling and i just barely step on the gas it drops almost to stalling making me think that it skips #2 step.
  16. POP3Y3
    thanks for the suggestions guys. i will check all these things and let you know.
  17. POP3Y3
    i have thought of that/tweaked it in the past. it idles fine (8-900) but then it drops after 10-15 minutes of driving. restart will correct it. if i try to adjust the idle mix when it drops, then when it will idle too high when it corrects itself (or whatever the issue is). i will try to adjust the mix again as you suggest. confusing.

    translation is "Run Note". maybe an info card/paper from the production line?

    ...for the Weber guru's 1) where is speed adjust screw for the cold start idle? when i start it cold the RPM hits 3k. i need to tone that down a bit (by half!) 2) once the car warms up it idles fine and driving with no problems. then i come to a stop and the idle drops to like 100 to almost dying. i can re-start and the idle comes back to normal (800-900). ok for a bit then happens again. this happens almost every time i drive. what gives? Weber 32/36, elec. choke, new (1 yr old) any help is greatly appreciated.

    nothing here. has a couple flurries but not enough for the salt trucks. i'm in no hurry for them either for as you know mine's a daily driver.
  21. POP3Y3
    love it! sweet a$$ car!
  22. POP3Y3
    that is where you hone your drifting skillz. battery in the trunk helps.

    i drive mine in the snow and love it! i am aware of the rust dangers but "it goes like bloddy hell"! it is truely a blast. i do my best to hose it off after each drive in the basement. someday (hopefully soon) it will be parked and i'll start dismanteling for body resto.
