15" is pretty much normal on a turbo car at idle.

Also, pull the dist cap and rotor off. Ck the relucter pickup wheel under the plate. I've run into a few over the years that the metal window would be loose causing all kinds of weird issues.

Turbo cars have a dual pickup, one for fuel injector timing and a 2nd for ignition spark




Yep. Checked that when I replaced the Hall Effect Pickup. It's good too.

I'm running out of things to try, really. I've taken out all the plastic vacuum hoses and they were all in good shape. No major cracks or breaks that I can see. I did find one repair done to the heater control tube, but it's a good repair. The only thing that's even close to suspect was the short length of rubber tube to the wastegate. It was pretty crumbly and looked like it had taken some heat.

Other than that, what else could it be? Wastegate Solenoid? Barometer Solenoid?
