Re: TWL: Uneven Idle rpm

noticing an uneven rpm when idling bellow 900 rpm.
To start the engine when cold, now I have to give it some throttle so
it won't die. Once it has run for a few minutes then, a consistent
up-and-down variation in rpm occurs when bellow 900 rpms.
The problem goes away at about 1000 rpm or gets somewhat reduced
when I put the engine in gear.

Sounds like an air leak in the fuel system to me.
