Well it might not be the only fix. There's faulty distributors and what not.

Anyhow, I checked my exaust cause I wanted to replace the studs and just prior to that I started getting a jumpy idle. I found one of the nuts had fallen off. Since I didn't know the stud sizes and my 2nd car isn't running I just got new nuts and crush washers for the cat' to exhast connection. My exhaust got quieter and the jumping idle dissapeard.

 

I also have a strange, hunting, idle problem and a very leaky exhaust. I didn't think the one would affect the other but If thats the case than maybe you solved my problem? I guess I'll find out!

 

Uhh, well, the distributors were eliminated on the FD model, along with the overhead cam and the timing chain. Didn't you get the memo? LOL. You might have a bent push rod!

On a serious note, if your jumpy idle comes back, you will more than likely need to adjust your throttle position sensor. Do a search.

Good luck.

Jeff
