[QUOTE="Holger, post: 45537, member: 2894"] I note a sticky ATD being mentioned as a cause of fast engine idle. I don't believe that to be correct. If the throttles are closed to their normal idle position and the ignition remains advanced as the engine slows down, then the engine will idle slower, not faster, and will often stall. This is easily verified by adjusting the timing on a running engine by turning the distributor - as the ignition timing is retarded the engine idle will speed up. In summary, sticky ATD will result in an engine that idles slower, idles rough, and is difficult to start. [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
