88 vw cabriolet dies at idle unless the ac is on then it still idles too low Dealership can't repair?
i have a 91 cabriolet and have had what problem you have had, and it is simple, but depending on the pricing of the parts and how willing you are to work for it is the key. in the front of the engine compartment on the motor, there are two sensors, one is blue, one is black i think. the blue one tells the computer how much gas to give it to keep it running, and if the sensor is not plugged all the way in and fastened properly, it will not run on a cold start. if your sensor is bad or not plugged in, it needs to be replaced. don't worry though, it is held in by a single retainer clip and it is only a single wire to it. pop it off, then take it to auto zone or make sure it is pushed in all the way.
the simple solution is to press the gas while on idle and make the engine rev to about 2000 rpm. this is a safe output, so the car will warm up. hold it for about a a minute and a half.
What else can I help you with?

When stoped at idle shakes the vehicle unless in neutral engine idles like it has a ratackle cam if you rev it up over a thousand rpms it goes away and vehicle runs fine. I think it has a vacuum leak?
I would suspect you are correct. Replace all vacuum hoses under the hood if the vehicle is over 10 years old. Otherwise find the leak and repair it.
Why would a 1999 Ford Contour shake or vibrate at idle?
I also wish someone would answer this question as my 1997 Ford contour does the same thing. It shakes and vibrates very bad when it idles and it idles really low. They set the idle up to make it so it wouldn't die so now when I start it it revs up really bad then it idles down then it idles down to low and shakes I also wish someone would answer this question as my 1997 Ford contour does the same thing.
