Hi Bob,

Are you saying that if you are setting you timing and the timing lite shows the timing flutting around by a few degrees it's a result of a bad idle switch. Should the timing be rock solid at idle? I have an '84 Automatic (Digijet). I'm trying to work out a slightly rough idle after the van has warmed up.

Thanks in advance
