Re: [DML] Engine Dies at idle HELP!

[Christopher Mack <christopher_mack@xxxxxxxxx>]

Nathan, 

I am having a similar problem with my DL. The problem
would be where the idle gets low when the car is cold
and the car will not restart.  I had the problem fixed
but now my car is runing too rich, sounds like my
car's engine needs an air/fuel mixture adjustment.  
For the control pressure regulator I just fixed one on
a friends car by taking it apart and cleaning the
screen out with brake cleaner and checking all the
electrical components too before reinstalling it.  His
car accelerates fine now instead of coughing when
trying to accelerate. Does your car have the same
problem whne hot and cold?? let me know

Thanks

Chris
