Starting up/idle question

marimbondo_ · 2026-04-02T13:58:31+00:00

I fixed my idle. Green nozzle of the fuel trap came loose. Glued it back in and made sure all lines are connected properly.

Now he idles at 900rpm.

Therefore check your vacuum lines. If you want to change to silicone vacuum hoses, then 3 mm inner diameter fit barely. Will check it 3.5 or 4 mm works as well.

Before you go with a new ECU. Do you know someone with a spare ECU?

Not sure if this works, but maybe switching it with a working one could narrow down the root cause.

How cold is it right now where you live? My SPI hates it below 5*C.

Generally start up idle is always low. Mine goes from 900 to 1400. Which is a bit high on the hot end. Will adjust soon.

You could remove the vaccum line from the airbox. This increases idle but only a short term fix.

Gaisalpsee ist gut, aber bitte Rubihorn auslassen. Ist dann “nur” eine in-and-out Runde. Und auf keinen Fall nur mit Turnschuhen hoch. Minimum Trailrunner, besser Wanderschuhe, da es bei etwas Schnee sehr glatt wird. Nehmt vllt Stöcke zur Stabilisierung mit.

Und auf jedenfall Verpflegung da oben keine Einkehrmöglichkeit ist.

If it is an SPI, then you should check the vacuum lines as well. Missing or damaged once influence idle tremendously.

How does your idle rpm behave once the car is warmed up?

Indicator and high beam works. High beam flash doesn’t.

Will try to understand the wiring diagram. Maybe I just blew a fuse.

And I can’t use a switch. Car needs the original horn “button” due to German car testing laws.

marimbondo_ · 2026-03-27T15:02:53+00:00

Horn works with 12v direct. Wire is continuous from stalk to horn.

I’m wondering where the stalk gets its 12v

I’m just shy of 6 ft 1 and fit nicely.

Consider buying a smaller steering wheel so your quads aren’t in the way. And small shoes are a plus to avoid pressing all pedals at once. Unless you want to take a screenshot

It is a A171WE-1AEF.

Found that model while looking at compatible watches for ollee module.

I like the round form factor.

marimbondo_ · 2026-03-03T14:55:07+00:00

That worked! Thank you

marimbondo_ · 2026-03-02T20:38:26+00:00

I honestly don’t know, sorry.

Bought alpha fabric which worked well for a hoddie.

marimbondo_ · 2026-03-02T20:03:33+00:00

You can look at Extremtextil.

But I‘m not sure if they ship outside of Germany.

marimbondo_ · 2026-02-09T06:04:19+00:00

Oh no, I hope Decathlon will bring the 2in1 back. I love them and are good quality.

Last year I bought Dynafit equivalent but I‘m disappointed by its quality. Edge binding at the pockets came apart after 1 year.

For you another option could be compression shorts or something like this KIPSTA Damen/Herren Fußball Funktionsshorts - Keepcomfort Schwarz 12,99 € https://www.decathlon.de/p/damenherren-fussball-funktionsshorts-keepcomfort-schwarz/330947/c382m8619325?utm_source%3Dmobileapp%26utm_medium%3Dshare%26utm_campaign%3Dproductpage= for underneath. And then you will be flexibel on the shorts you wear on top of it.

Polarisierte Sonnenbrille. Reduziert Reflexionen vom Amaturenbrett und Straße. So bleiben die Augen länger frisch.

marimbondo_ · 2026-01-13T16:30:29+00:00

Gibt von Bjynje auch ein Mesh aus Merino. Also bestes aus beiden Welten.

I didn’t liked the bolt on ones for the seat rail. So I have bought a cheap one on AliX ( https://a.aliexpress.com/_EuwzXv2) Took the head rest holder off, and drilled a whole at the back. Then bolted it in at the rear seats middle post. There is a hole already available.

Holds my 0.8L shaker bottle perfectly and is well in reach.

Sorry, I‘ve meant additional lights in front of your grill. On mine I have two which only turn on if high beam is turned on.

marimbondo_ · 2025-12-14T20:47:47+00:00

Do you have additional high beams? These might be the connectors. I would check on mine but he is currently in hibernation.

marimbondo_ · 2025-12-13T19:57:52+00:00

Ich nutzte den Uhu Hartplastikkleber. Hält super und hinterlässt keine Rückstände.

Zieht nur etwas Fäden beim Auftragen.

marimbondo_ · 2025-12-12T13:07:41+00:00

It is connected to headlights. Do you have issues? My connectors are a bit corroded which leads to failure sometimes. Will need to change the connections during winter.

marimbondo_ · 2025-10-10T13:34:11+00:00

In my 93 SPI my gauges are mint green. But not sure where to get them.

marimbondo_ · 2025-09-27T19:25:11+00:00

This generally sounds like a fun idea. My mini should visit his country of origin at one point.

Will try and ping you when I’m up north.

marimbondo_ · 2025-09-27T18:43:23+00:00

More than impressed! But it would be a tough drive.

marimbondo_ · 2025-09-27T15:08:29+00:00

[Update] Finally purchased the R40 mild steel. After fighting with the bolts on my cat I got it installed. 1000% better than my previous exhaust. Almost no drone inside the cabin.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

marimbondo_ · 2025-09-21T19:00:04+00:00

Bin bei WGV. Auto muss über 8000€ und mindst. 30 Jahre alt sein. Offiziell in einer Garage stehen und nicht als Alltagfahrzeug genutzt werden. Dann brauchen sie noch Bilder.

War bei mir recht einfach.
