## Discrepancy

(CAN) FUEL CONTROL UNIT COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED TO STABILIZE THE IDLE SPEED. AFTER THE START THE IDLE WOULD BE 61-62 PERCENT. BRING THE THROTTLE TO 100% AND BACK TO IDLE, THEN THE SPEED WOULD BE 68-72 PERCENT. FURTHER ADJUSTMENT WOULD NOT CORECT THE PROBLEM. ALSO NOTE THAT THE COMPRESSOR WOULD STALL DURING THE START WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM.
