decooney,
it was just the diode. The idle is about 800-900 and I did not do any adjustment to that.
As a matter of fact the dieseling would occur with an almost cold engine as well.
The only drawback now is that the red "charging light" on my Contemporary Cobra does not come on, but the charging dial shows healthy charging going on.
Does anybody have an electric schematic
of the Contemporary Cobra ? The only thing I have is the loom schematic, but there is no way of knowing where the pink cable from "I" on the voltage regulator goes to and how the charging light is wired into this circuit.
As for the dieseling , I often also see the suggestion to check for the fan wiring in the car electrics and wiring a diode in there, and I believe this is not taken seriously enough. At least in my case an electric problem caused the dieseling.
