Troubleshooting rough idle
fatmobile:
I'm in Iowa so it gets cold-tested here.
Thanks for pointing out my mistake.
Wouldn't want anyone to think it will do anything but turn over easy at 150psi.
rabbitman:
Last I checked I had 3 cylinders around 390 and 1 at 420. I can start at about 5F without plugging in the engine heaters, colder than that it cranks too slow.
If it has sat a lot maybe driving it will help the rings out.
My uncle told me that some 1.5 rabbits came with a 4 speed that was geared higher than the 5 speed transmissions. Codes GP, GL and GY have a 0.70 4th gear while a fast geared 5 speed has 0.71 5th gear.
