How to crank up the RPMS
Hey guys,
I have a 84 Rabbit Cabby and the engine idles so low when im at a stop light it makes my interior vibrate like crazy(like i said in my other post). It is Fuel injected. I would like to increase the IDLE RPMS so that is runs smoother at a stop.. How would i go about doing this?
Thanks
Ryan

The screw for adjusting is on the throttle body the brass bolt. What it's reving at is what's important should be 950 +- 50.

What will a motor mount run me?
Are they pretty easy to install? just jack up the engine and put the new one in?
Thanks

The mount is pretty cheap (under $25) but replacing the mount can be a nasty nasty job. Removing the old mount can be a HUGE pain. The bolt tends to freeze inside the mount completely destroying what's left of the rubber when you try to turn the bolt. If this happens, you need to cut the bolt, your best bet here is probably a reciprocating saw. Then that you need to remove the 4 bolts that hold the mount to the block, IIRC you need to remove the timing belt to do this so, you may as well take this opportunity to replace the belt. The old mount is then pressed or cut out of the bracket and the new one pressed in. BTW, Techonics sells a mount already installed in the bracket, it's a heavy duty mount and costs $65.00. If you get this far, the rest of the installation is a piece of cake.
