Re: [DML] Rough Idle

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

Joel,

It is normal for the idle to vary while the engine is in the warm-up cycle.
If the idle does not settle down ten minutes after a cold start your CO mix
adjustment is out of spec. A problem in the fuel enrichment circuit can also
cause this condition.

It is normal for the oil pressure gauge to rise and fall with the idle
speed.

Whenever you start the car the fuel level reading will be lower than the
previous start depending how much fuel you used during that period. If the
level rises between trips than the Tankzilla should correct the problem.

PS: for myself and the other list members who submit advice, please be more
definitive with your descriptions. Is the idle "rough" or does it "vary"? Do
you have a problem with the oil "light" or "gauge"? Accurate descriptions
allows us to give you more accurate information which saves time, not only
for you, but for us as well. Thanks for your cooperation.
