The throttle body, switch and all is sitting on the desk in front of me. I already said the adjustments were fine, it is working properly and I plan on soldering the wires back on and reinstalling it here in a shake. I just wanted to know what effect not having the switch functioning had on my engine and whether it might have anything to do with the two issues I asked about. I don't get your tone, Roger. From what you post sometimes I figure you're either pushing the envelope or riding the ragged edge of disaster, but I'm not sure which. I ask about it 'cause I'm interested in how things turned out.
