Sounds like several of us got New Tiicos recently. I was sick of mine for
several days after I got it cranked because it ran dead rich and would
barely pull itself.


The main problem turned out to be an unnecessary bushing in a plastic
connector on a sensor that bolts to the intake manifold. After I figured out
that this bushing was keeping the plug from making full contact, the engine
completely changed character. I made a two hundred mile over night trip this
weekend, and I'm in love.


Can't remember now why I put up with the waterleaker all those years. Oh
yeah! It was the MONEY!
