Re: [DML] Re: idle problems

I replaced the fuel pump a week after it started acting like this. Tank 
components are fine with no water in there. Does it no matter the fuel 
level. The frequency valve is buzzing. There is no chance of water in 
the plug wells as it has been in the upper 90's for most of the last 
month and the car is garaged and I've been through the water in the 
plug wells before so that was one of the first things I checked.. Brand 
new set of plug wires.

Matt-
Mixture screw is set as correctly as possible using a dwell meter. I 
have experienced the mixture being too rich and too lean and this is 
not the way it acted. There is no smoke.

John-
First off, you're the best. Thanks for all the phone advice you have 
given me.
There was no idle seeking after about a minute of warm up before this 
problem popped up. It used to hold real steady. This problem just 
started with no warning. I thought that maybe I had some water in the 
tank but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I will be happy to check the mixture adjustment again but I find it 
hard to believe that parking it for a show and then starting it up 3 
hours later would cause it to go out of adjustment. The thing will 
barely Idle most of the time and other times its just fine. It started 
acting this way right after I bought my benz so I thought that maybe 
"she" was trying to spite me LOL.  I thought that the problem was just 
the fuel pump as it was getting real noisy but I guess that wasn't it.  
Thanks to everyone for their input.
