Gibbo GTI 0 Posted November 11, 2006 Where's the cheapest place to buy a new SAD? My cold starting is rubbish, the car is only idling around 700 rpm when cold. Once the engine is up to temp it idles around 950rpm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

futura 3 Posted November 12, 2006 Are you sure the SAD is not working at all? I had the same issue on my car and I changed the SAD setting (small screw) to make it wider open when cold, now the car runs fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had the same issue on my car and I changed the SAD setting (small screw) to make it wider open when cold, now the car runs fine. eh? which screw is that? might have a fiddle with mine cos it idles fine at 900 when hot but sits at 1600 when its freezing!

futura 3 Posted November 12, 2006 (edited) I am hunting for a pic of a SAD but couldn't find one. There's only one small screw on it anyway but the pain is that you have to take the SAD out to play with it. I set mine to close in 7 minutes at 20 degrees but it can sometimes idle a bit high. I think the standard recommendation is to set it to shut completely after 5 minutes of 12Volts to its pins EDIT: found it: http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?s...57097&st=20 It's actually the small nut (not screw) that you need to fiddle with Edited November 12, 2006 by futura Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
