[Vwdiesel] Re: IP on NA Slow Deceleration Response

Chuck,
What are you running for fuel additive?  The 1.5 that was in my 79 would 
do this when I used PowerService fuel additive.  It would take a couple 
of tanks of fuel before it started not idleing down.  Reminded me the 
old idle hold open feature on some of the first "smog" cars.  I found 
that mine liked either ATF or when I could get it Howes fuel additive.  
I have always wondered if there was some sort of governing feature that 
wasn't being properly lubed with PowerService in the tank.  Now the '94 
'burb with the 6.5 TD likes the PowerService as an additive.
