The classic is to take carb cleaner and spray it around the seams and such and listen for a change in rpm.

Ditto what LL6 said. If it works at the dealership, it should work at your house :D

You mean "headspace and timing"? LOL I think craig can handle it. Of course, I blame most of the "problem child" cars at work on a poor connection between the steering wheel and the seat... graemlins/lol.gif

Geeeeeeezzzzz, thanks Jay. Although I do wonder. I have been out there with a half pack of smokes blow smoke arounf the intake area seeing if anything is sucked in. I had no carb cleaner at the time and the engine surges any way. Plus the engine is still running extremly rich..... ahhh.... the joy smile.gif

I thought it was "the loose nut behind the wheel"?
