[DML] Re: Sudden acceleration syndrome?

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The other diagnostic is to temporarily disable the idle speed motor
with 3/4" vacuum caps and idle the engine manually using either the
brass screws or simply cracking the throttle plates. 

This is why I advocate knowing how to idle your PRV the "old
fashioned" way, for diagnosis if nothing else.
