ok ok where to start.. im just going to list things i know to clear some stuff up before we get too deep..
1. .042 or .062 was referring to a reading of ohms with feeler gauge installed vs not installed.
2. so the tps may actually be ok?
3. idle switch is what? at 0vdc? i never tested voltage just ohms so far
4. 1500 cold idle is intermittent. for example today, both cold starts (and i mean cold) were at 800 rpm.
5. does not surge (hunt) at idle at all. only way to produce this is to slowly throttle it up to 1900 rpm in park or neutral hot or cold. when 1900 is reached it will drop to 1500 on its own then raise back to 1900, then 1500..then 1900 over and over never ending as long as i hold my foot very steady on the throttle (very very light throttle input) if i apply more throttle, rpm raise and smooth out, no more surge, if i let off of throttle, or let it idle, surge stops.
6. i dont have cruise cont. (forgot to mention eons ago)
7. i have zero before maf leaks (im a stickler about this)
8. i had a feeler gauge between the stop and ball crank and accidentally opened the throttle causing my feeling to fall down (lol)
9. maf screen is intact. slightly dirty. not like mud or debris.. just light normal dust. i will clean with approved cleaner asap.
10. the header is stainless steel. nice but expensive. $280? BUT it DOES have a provision (special cut out) for the egr to flow and function properly., cat is directly behind header.
11. 10mm is 1/2inch yes. (close enough)
12. .51 was an ohm reading, not a gap measurement, and i left out a zero .051 is correct
13. the ball crank is resting on the stop screw. there is a shiny worn spot where its been resting for 23 years
i dont think this was ever tampered with
14. the cone filter i was talking about was the size of a D battery and stuffed into the intake hose where i believe factory would be a baffle? see pic. what kind of idiot puts a filter in line before the maf!?!!?!?! who does this!? nincompoops! lol i have the hole temporally taped tightly and clamped until i can find a baffle
70yrs young huh? you are a smart mother. got my head spinning
