What Josh said...plus, continue to check for vacuum leaks, the source of an idle surge on my '81 242t. Spray carb cleaner or WD-40 at all the vacuum hose junctions with the car running, if the idle speeds up, you've found your leak. I tried this around my injectors and found that 2 of the 4 had leaking seals. I replaced the seals and the car idled normally again.
