Re: Oxy Sensor Test & Idle Sucks

["Brian Honnold" <bhonnold@pac-cap.com>]

Thanks Brad

And thanks to everyone who responded to my post about my idle problems.....

While poking around just now I realized that the idle switch isn't clicking
when the throttle valve closes.  Therefore the oxy computer can't tell what
is happening to the motor and sends an erratic signal to the  idle
stabilizer.

Now the question is how to free up the throttle switch without pulling the
thorttle body off the manifold.

what a goat screw

Thanks for listening.
