Greetings!
Postponed my jaunt to SF Bay Area until winter weather abates.
Meanwhile, stopped in my local auto shop for a routine squealing fan belt.
Seems a vacuum hose had come completely free.  Richard tightened the fan
belt, reconnected the hose, then apparantly "fixed" my wild surging@idle
trouble with a mere turn of the screw.
     The whole event took 10 minutes and cost $12.50!!!  It's the first time
she's run right since my old mechanic installed a new air flow meter...If
all of this sounds OK, I can move on to the next matter, getting the coolant
flushed and new thermostat installed (&maybe all new hoses).
The champagne's on ice. Is it too soon to celebrate?
