I have a 81 242 turbo that idles fine on start up, but after driving it and coming to a stop the rpm will drop almost to a stall then the rpms jump well above idle. It may do this several times till it finally settles down or it may only take once but it seems to evetually settle and idle correctly.

Any ideas on a fix?

I was goign to go thru the idle setting procedure in the bently book since it uses a CIS (constant idle stabilization) like the 83 but after investigation I found it does not have a wire to disable the system like the book says the 83 and later cars do.

any help would be much appreciated

Jeff
