Hello,
I could not get my '84 240Ti to pass the emissions test today because it idles too fast - around 1400 RPM.
When cold, it idles around 850 RPM but once hot, it idles faster.
Does this sound like a bad part?
What part?
Or is there a home remedy, sorta like the screw I used to turn to adjust a carburater?
Thank you.

First thing to do is clean out the idle speed regulator, it's a cylendrical thing near the intake manifold, has two rubber hoses coming out of one end and going to each side of the throttle body and a cable plugged into the back end. It's a motorized valve that allows air to bypass the throttle plate to regulate the idle speed.
If she's too much trouble I'll take that project off your hands, where can I pick'er up?
