Why does my idle raise when I turn right?
The title pretty much says it. When I turn the wheel to the right while in neutral, my rpms raise to about 1500. When the wheel returns to center, the rpms drop back down. Nothing happens when turning left. The car is an '85 GSL, SP 12A w/ sterling carb, Holley FP and FPR, and currently an open header for exhaust. Anyone know what could be causing this? I wonder about the brake booster...

haa! I wonder where our cars are getting such excellent crack? I mean, I live in a fairly rough neighborhood, so it's probably not too hard to come by...

you must have power steering, and while in neutral your applying a load to your pump. I have no idea about the sterling carb, but something has to compensate for that load. Maybe a vacuum leak also??
