'88 80q idle weirdness...

[Rand Soper]

Thanks!  I will give all of that a try just as soon as I replace the
radiator tomorrow.  It blew on me today.   I just got done replacing the
heater core and I guess the new found pressure was just too much for it to
handle.  Oh well it will be a day off work.

good ground.
