RE: [DML] Starting and low idle

["John Hervey" <john@xxxx>]

Darryl, Read the plugs, if it's starting ok but having a hard time running
then you may have a fuel dumping problem. Take out a plug and go to the plug
cart on the web site to see the condition. If the car is flooding they
should be black. There are several things that could cause this. Warm up
regulator/Control pressure regulator, Idle speed motor
not opening, idle speed micro switch not working, vacuum problems, control
plunger out of adjustment and more.
