I cut off the cold start cable from my wax stat, I'm wondering if this is causing the following problem. When the engine is cold the idle is too low and the engine shakes on the mounts and shakes its tits off, when the engine warms up the idle is too high like 1300rpm. I am adjusting the minimum throttle stop to set the idle speed at the moment, I have removed the hot idle and cold idle screws from the back of the pump to simplify things so that I am only adjusting one thing at a time. I have read this thread: http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-2883.htm...transition
Which seems to suggest going by Ruan's post that I shouldn't be having a fluctuating idle since I have snipped the cold start cable. According to Ruan the idle should be fixed but my pump seems to have a mind of it's own once it's warmed up. Unless it's a symptom of the fuel pump warming up and therefore warming the veg up and making it easier to pump?
