I did several things at the same time and one/some/all of them fixed the problem. 1. Adjusted spring tension on AFM. 2. Cleaned out the port on the Idle Stabilizer. This is the little port for a vacuum hose. There seems to be a little jet inside that was all gunked up with oily dust. 3. Replaced the rubber connector boot on whatever it is to which the little vacuum hose connects. I still have an occasional problem with stalling while running the A/C, but winter is almost here so I won't worry about it till spring;) Check for vacuum leaks?
