RE: [DML] crappy acceleration

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

3469,
My first impression with your problem is the warm up regulator/CPR. The high
idle is normally a vacuum leak or binding acceleration cable and mechanism,
but just checking to see that they are all in order doesn't mean you don't
have a vacuum leak. The old rubber hoses could be broken and rotted around
the connections and there are 3 of them under the intake manifold. Also, the
idle speed motor tube going into the lower part of the air flow metering
body may not be tight fit and can leak a lot. Cat & exhaust glowing red to
me would indicate to much fuel. Again, Warm up regulator.
