 Low bouncing idle when warm
Troubleshooting question: looked through various posts, nothing conclusive come to mind...
My wife's 1997 TI, M44 has an intermittent idle drop once it is warmed up. Runs great until it's warmed up then will have a low idle (I.e. At a stop light) low enough where 1 out of 10 times it will die. Restarts just fine.
I'm thinking a slight vacuum leak once it warms up.
Any other thoughts or experiences out there?
Prolly 20k on the engine since I last installed it. At time, I swapped in new hoses for all rubber and new cooling pipes. The engine itself has 160k or so miles on it.
Runs strong above idle.
Thanks for reading and in advance for your thoughts. Cheers!
