Idle Stabilizer Control Unit Alternative

[Meetdmorgan]

Hello my fellow WBX lovers.
I run a 1984 GW engine in my beetle.
When my engine gets warm the idle gallops away until I pull out the idle valve.
Is this a fit for my engine?
412.202.015.003 251 007 393 A
Is the number on my unit.

Hi,

I have been running without the idle control for years.

My van passes Cal SMOG every year.

Not sure why anyone needs it.

The only diff without it is that the idle wanders a little more without it.

Any updates on the beta test or product availability?

I was on hold because my van was getting painted and repaired after a hail damage and I just got it today. I am also waiting on a couple of test units to come in which I will then prepare for beta testing.

So I hope I'll be able to ship out in a week or two.

crap... i didn't recall that you, Zoti, were the designer of the alternative control unit. my previous post, saying i'm getting along fine without one, was in no way meant to diminish your work. i think it is wonderful and incredible we have people stepping up to design obsolete parts no longer available. so. once again, Kudos to you and your project! carry on and ignore me!

Im having issues with my ICU- how can I get my hands on one of yours, and does it costs less than the rebuilt ones online ? ($325)
