I think I got it licked.  (It was stalling when I got off the gas coming
into a redlight or stop sign.)  I checked over the FI at the ECU with the
ohm-meter.  Everything looked OK there except the FI's were all reading
about 18 ohms--the book says 16.5.  Is this just instrument error or an
indication of a real problem?  I also saw about 3 ohm on the ground to ECU
pins.  Maybe my digital meter is off 2 or 3 ohms?  I will run an extra
ground wire here when I get a chance.
I checked the Temp II cold.  It is OK.  I ran the engine until normal temp
reading showed on the guage and shut it off.  Rechecked Temp II hot.  Looks
OK (~350 ohms).  I then jumped the idle stabilizer and set the idle and
timing.  The timing was advanced a few degrees.  I reset it and adjusted
the idle speed.  I had to back out the idle screw several turns to bring
the idle back up.  I shut it down again and put the idle stabilizer back on
line.  Idle is about right.
My next question is--Is there a ball park setting for the CO screw on the
AFC?  Does anyone recall how many turns out from "tight" would be close.
It doesn't seem to effect the idle until you get almost all the way in.  If
I understand correctly, it is an air bleed around the AFC, so in tight
would richen the mixture and backing out would lean the idle mixture.  I
think it came set  new about 3 turns out, but I'm not sure.  I don't have
access to a CO meter.

                                                   Thanks,
