WOnt idle when cold. I have to give it gas till warm.
I tried searching but didnt find any answers.
WHen i start her up she does her normal 2-3000 rpm for a second or 2 and when she comes down to normal idle... she tries to hold but dies out. WHEN COLD ONLY.
I have to help her stay on when shes cold but after 2-3 minutes of helping her out she eventually holds her own idle...
drives,pulls, and idel normal when In normal operating temps.

FUlly modified throttle body besides porting.
And it is the throttle body from the old engine...
I bought an extra throttlebody for my old engine thinking it was the thermowax.. And my uncle said to use the modded one. And he still fixed it. without thermowax

I have the same problem with my 86 n/a. I read that it might be an air intake temperature senson. Take a peak and maybe we can figure this thing out so we don't have to start our cars 4 times in the morning and tickle the throttle. LOL, Mag

Where is the cold start system? How and where is it under the hood? I am sure it 's mounted someplace close to the intake. Right? My VWs had 3 screws on the side of the carb to loosten but this bird has about got me stumped.

Crap.. CAnt be....
My uncle fixed mine. i told him my car wouldnt stay on when cold. WHen i got the car back from him he had somwhat fixed it.
WHen i first got it. The car wouldnt not need any pedal at all. I could crank and walk away.
But after a few months i would have to pedal for like 15 - 30 seconds only.
I remember my uncle saying somehting about the idle enrichment screw thingy. He said as the climate changes i would have to adjust it.??

looked a couple things up and i do have to agree that its the thermowax thing. engine rebuilt by banzai racing and they used a "thermo pellet plug". so i do not have one you should double check about yours. oh well guess the t2 will never be my daily

The thermo pellet plug has absolutely nothing to do with the thermowax on the throttle body. It also has absolutely nothing to do with the way the car idles when cold. It simply removes the thermo-pellet from the end of the eshaft to allow oil flow at all times.

Yeah he mixed those up bad.
Ive been messing with the idle adjustments. ANd its geting better. I only have to give it gas when freshly started for about 5 second then she will hold idle... AT around 500rpms till she warms up and idles at 750-900rpms.
