Re: Surging idle

[Robert Myers <rmyers@wvit.wvnet.edu>]

I want to express a very public "Thanks, Scott".  I'll deliver a print of
your note to my mechanic tomorrow.  Be assured, if that doesn't work I'll be
in contact with you about a short term ECU loan for diagnostic purposes.

I wanna tell ya, friends, this Quattro list is absolutely super.  What a
great bunch of folk!  Where else could *anyone* possibly find such help as
you are volunteering, Scott?  Know what?  I'm not really surprised.  :-)
