Subject:Re: Idle issue? Any update?

Thanks for checking Eric!

Spend the weekend watching YouTube videos, and reading.
I'm hopeful that I can get to taking temp readings this week, and running
some diagnostics to determine if it is a stuck valve before taking it out on
the road.

Question to the list, if I have a suck valve, what are your thoughts on:
1. Driving the vehicle short distances, less than 20 miles
2. Adding SeaFoam or other additive to the oil to help release the valve
3. Degree of difficulty to do a mechanical repair

I hesitate to through parts at problems.

Jack R.

Hi Jack,

        Any updates on your idle issue?
I hope it was a simple as the water in the gas you were checking out.

Any more info or a resolution?

Eric
