Hi, Are the waterboxers prone to intake icing? Both my 85 digijet and 87 digfiant have been acting up when cold (less than 25f). It starts and drives nicely for a short time, then it bucks, hesitates,and the idle goes anywhere from 600 to 2000 +. It may do that a few times, or just a couple, then it may not do it again that trip, or it may continue. The temps 2 sensors are ok. I checked the aux air regulator on the 85 and the idle stab. valve on the digfiant. I just started using fuel deicer, but the temps here are usually not constant enough for a good test.( although this week it should stay could) It seems to be an intermittent problem that leaves my wife scared to drive it. (our daily driver too!) Any ideas would be a big help.

Thanks, Larry
