[DML] Re: Idle Problems Solved-Well, Almost!

any lost motion and you will know what you have to do. You might also
want to lubricate the throttle cable as per the recall. I use a short
piece of hose with a hose clamp, fill the hose with anti-freeze, and
then hold a blow gun to the hose and pressurize the hose till the
anti-freeze comes out by the gas pedal.
