[DML] Re: Idle problem



Thanks Bill, and David-for your posts helping me with this idle issue.
I'll try disconnecting the sensor, and seeing what happens. The idle
motor will be here Wednesday, but I gotta say, manual idle works very
well once you get everything adjusted; only it is a bit harder to
start. I really don't mind manual but I feel more comfortable with the
idle motor for some reason. I'm interested in seeing how the engine
will behave with the new motor. How can I test the ECU to see if it is
fried or still kicking? I'll let you know what happens when I
disconnect the sensor. And also how much the engine revs on a hot
start. Thanks again guys-----Dani B. #5003
