[Peugeot-L] Re: '88 turbo auto idle-- DOH! ...or passing the buck

Thanks for all the help..but: I failed to see the two-prong module connnector that was disconnected, right on top of the engine near the distributor.. One end of which comes right off of a throttle device also on top.

The good: when reconnected, the idle comes down nicely and a fairly smooth idle. The bad: the thing bucks now and stumbles on most accellerations from a stop. Damn. And why only most accelerations from stop?...I thought it would be all or none.

Anyway, probably too complex to diagnose here but if someone has a simple place to look or fault to look at, much appreciated. I can't imagine going into D with idle at 1300 is too good for the Auto trans.  But stumbling on a slow speed merge isnt fun either. Ahh the longing for the ZDJL.....
