I have never had any of the other problems listed but have noticed a big
improvement in my cold start idle/responsiveness of throttle after thorough
cleaning of frequency valve of oxidation.

Unrelated Monkey Boy wannabe story:

Had excessive mindblank today and engaged my emergency brake even after
recent warning from mechanic that calipers were sticking and might not
release.  He was right!  No tools in car and wanted to avoid crawling under
car at work where they already give me a hard time about car.  (Pride is a
dangerous thing)  Drove home the couple of miles in the hopes that hitting a
couple bumps might jar them/it loose.  Seemed to work somewhat but thought I
should check once I got home.  What is the easiest way to find out if one
rotor is hotter than the other?  That's why I was given fingers!  Well I
guess I did find the hot rotor!!  I appear to be developing a most
impressive blister on my middle finger.  I hope the cold beer lasts tonight
as the pain is relatively ugly if I am not gripping something cold every few
minutes.
