Hello again. I am doing a general inspection and testing all of the fuel injection and intake compontents. So far I found that both the microswitches on the throttle valve are out of adjustment. Also I found a good size crack in the intake boot. This is probably a major part of my problem. Unfortunately I only get a small amount of time to tinker but I hope to have it all fixed and running good within a week. I am an aircraft mechanic and have an ugly but good repair for cracked intake boots. We have this rubbery stuff we use to seal fuel tank panels. If anyone out there needs a boot repaired let me know.
