[DML] Re: Bouncy idle speed



Ok, I'm a spaz...  My car idles as well as can be expected.  After
posting I realized that I hadn't started it up cold since I adjusted
the mixture.  Now it only bounces a little, which seems to be normal
for our cars.
Thanks to all the folks who e-mailed me though, it's great to be part
of a helpful community.
