[V8] 92 V8 4.2 fogging inside

[quattro + 5 or 8 = fun]

i had a similar problem.  my solution was to clean out the duct work.  if i
remember right, the intake vent was all plugged up with nature.  it has been
so long ago that this happened, my memory is kinda foggy on what exactly i
did, but i do remember cleaning out the system and it worked fine.

i hth,


Shayne
