That's really useful info. I may buy a Vanistan VSM + TB. Interesting to note the red LED he includes. Seems I"m not entirely crazy (connecting an LED to throttle valve switch prooved useful). Dennis: I'll check the evap valve operation. Engine off, purple and white hose hold a vacuum. I recently found my MightyVac vacuum hand pump. I imagine it might be useful. ;^) I still have a very rough idle or stall, engine cold, after driven about 2 blocks. And, the idle goes up, down, up, down, then settles at first start. Odd. Thanks!
