Re: [DML] Tuning idle speed circuit

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxx>]

Sounds like you're right on top of it. If you have power at the plug 
and you tested the microswitch and it no longer hums....

(If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck...)

Mine was siezed from rust. I don't think they have a high failure 
rate but when the thing is 20+ years old...

I'd replace the durn thing and eliminate the question. In the 
meantime if you REALLY don't want to do it, you can talk to Bill 
Robertson and he'll tell you how to "de-plumb" your engine. He knows 
how to get rid of all the computer junk and make the engine run well 
without it.

I know I'll catch h&#) for even bringing it up. A lot of people 
disagree with his methods but I've seen his car and it runs well. I'm 
not doing it to mine but that's 'cause I'm a closet-historian.
