I also have another problem with my '92 85K-ish 1.6L. I've done several variations of searches and according to all of them I just need to randomly replace all my sensors, etc. I'm not a big fan of just replacing shit until a problem goes away...
Completely random change in idle with no indicators as to why. I travel for a living and have come home after six days on the road, start it up, and it acts normal. 1.5K-ish idle/choke and then settles into the normal nice sub-1K idle. Drive around for a bit and suddenly I have a "perfect" 1.5K idle as if choke never went away. That would be an easy indicator except that after a while it goes to 1.1K with consistancy. Sometimes it eventually goes back to a sub-1K idle, sometimes it doesn't, and even worse, sometimes it goes back up to 1.5K. Even more frustrating is that sometimes it doesn't happen at all for days at a time.
Thoughts?
