Re: Idle Problem

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

My opinions on *AGED* automatic idle speed system are known and
controversial. Contact me off list (brobertson(AT)carolina.net) if
you'd like to discuss manual alternative. Requires no modification to
engine (manual idle circuit already built into PRV for Volvos etc).
Lacks convenience of *PROPERLY FUNCTIONING* automatic system, but I
guarantee idle will stay put where you set it.
