 HC to high. traced it out to a cold starting injector that was mechanically

getting.
 BTW, the way I tracked this down was I disconnected the secondary fuel pump
and
 it didn't change the idle much, as too where it used to stall out.
 well, now it stalls again if idling and disconnected.

Just curious, did you see what appeared to be soot (like from a diesel motor)
coming out the exhaust?  This is what happened on a friends 4k (no q), and
was also due to the stuck open cold start injector.
