Joshua - One question.  When my '84DL is cold (around 35F) fast idle is
okay.  Overnight at 45F or warmer, results in slow idle, almost stall, with
some misfires.  When you turn the A/C on, idle gets faster and smoother.  It
sounds like my aux. air regulator is not adjusted correctly.  It was new
10/98.
