Subject:      difficult starting, uneven idle, stalling
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


Hello again Listees,


I am trying to get my Syncro van ready for travel and have encountered a
problem.
1. The van is difficult to start and takes several tries.
2. The idle sounds uneven.
3. Sometimes it stalls at stoplights or when pulling away from a start.


What I have done so far:
a. Cleaned and re-gapped plugs.
b. New plug wires.
c. changed fuel filter & pump.
d. Cleaned idle stabilizer valve.
e. Cleaned and inspected air intake hoses for cracks.
f. My AFM and idle control unit were replaced with new 2 years ago.


Does Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?


TIA
Loretta
