Thanks for the advice on the Cold Start Valve (CSV). It's not connected, but at least I know it only operates on startup and is not the cause the of my current problem. This past weekend I tested both temp sensors and they were OK. I also adjusted the valves (which I should have done earlier). They were pretty tight (#4 intake especially). Setting them correctly has lessened the problem a great deal. A PO glued the gaskets both to the engine and to the covers so it took great effort and great pain to remove the valve covers. It was quite the knuckle-buster to get those off! I still have the odd problem that the car idles somewhat poorly at idle and off idle (just starting out in a gear) the first time I start it. However, if I drive it around the block easing it into gear for 5 minutes THEN turn the car off and back on, it runs just fine? So it seems to be running better at the moment, but it's a little off. Any ideas why starting it over after it warms up a bit might cause it too run more smoothly? Thanks for the helpful know-how with the temp sensors and the CSV! -jim- ===== all new and now with genuine meat by-products... http://www.machobeagle.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
