idea for the group

[Soma576@xxxx]

List,

I was thinking today about all the people who have problems getting their car 
to idle correctly, running rich, running lean, even getting it to start. 
wouldn't it be cool if the if the more knowledgable members of the DML could kind 
of form a roundtable and come up with an addition to dmcnews.com which would 
be kind of a tutorial on how to properly set up your car?

for instance, it would begin with giving your engine a thorough tune up with 
new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, lambda sensor, etc. then it would tell you check 
and replace bad vacuum hoses, verify correct routing, etc. then it would 
probably come time to jump the RPM and check for proper fuel pressures. know 
what i mean? each step of the way would be in a logical order for 
troubleshooting your car and making sure that everything is running right. that way when 
myself and others have problems with too much seeking, running too lean or rich, 
etc, we could refer to this document rather than ask the same types of 
questions over and over again. 

other things that would have to be included would be properly setting up 
throttle linkage, how to test the microswitches and other electrical fuel parts, 
what timing should be at different engine temperatures and under what 
conditions, etc.

Maybe someone out there who has time could draw one up and then forward it to 
another member who can make additions or corrects, and keep passing it on 
until it is complete.

good idea?
Andy
