FC idling problem

[Martiny]

Dave, I might be right in saying that the computer would up the idling when you put the lights on, to compensate for the alternator load.

So, once you are sure there are no leaks, we need to look at the idling system and see how it should be adjusted, and tested.

(I have the same problem as you, on the 323 at the moment!)

If it just upped the idle speed to compensate for the extra load it wouldn\'t bother me but the fact that it fluctuates from 1000 to 1200 rpm with a regular timing to it is a bit worrying.

It did do it all the time right up to 1500 rpm when I first got the car but after I did some electrical work and adjusted the idle speed it now only does it when the lights are on.

The electrical work was only stripping out an old alarm system to fit a new one and fitting my lazy eye controller, neither of which should interfere with anything
