Re: Serious problem

Well, I went ahead and did it anyway. I turned the screw a little bit and started the engine and drove it around for a bit. It seems a little better but I'm still noticing the stutter. I don't really...

Re: boiling under hood?

Re: Problems after leaving the shop

maybe like 850, 900 or so.... It was at 1k, maybe a bit more.
