Alright... I give up I know my way around B230s, but this B21FT has me all confused.
Car is an '82 242Ti. 185K on the clock, car starts fine, runs for a while, then the idle starts getting erratic, and it dies. Trying to start it after that is futile. Car will only idle with gas pedal pressed. Let go... she dies.
Idle Air Motor? If so, where is that damn thing? What does it look like? Does it need to be replaced, or just cleaned and serviced? Can it even be cleaned?
Or is this a case of the Temp Sensor? If so, where's that located??? The manual I have is about as helpful as a poke in the eye.
Oh, how I wish this car had a B230FT...
Can anyone help me?
Thanks all,
Nick
