[DML] Re: My first tune up: Making progress, not quite there yet

["sweetp01569" <paul.sweet@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nice use of technology! It was nice to hear how other engines 
sound.  I also wondered about this "glug" noise as well when I let 
my foot off the gas.  I live on a steep hill, and experience this 
quite often on my way out for a drive.  Nice to know that this is 
normal and not some sort of exhaust leak.
