[V8] idlle /driving problem continues

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Ha, Dave! That's just what I was thinking when reading this.  Either that or
a crack in the distributor cap.  Suggest checking this a night visually.  In
the darkness you should see any high-voltage sparks!!!  And if you do, they
shouldn't be there!

Good luck.

Ingo
