Car's been running great since all the troubles with fuel etc...and after replacing the Control Box.
But--- the idle is a few notches too high. I'd lower it, of course, except that once in a while, only noticeable in stop-and-go traffic, the idle goes down to where sometimes the oil light flickers. If idle was lower, it would probably stall. Hasn't yet.
- Oil level is good.
- Cold start switch etc disconnected.
- The Temp Sensor on the Air Distributor is disconnected.
- This has happened when car is both cool and after fully warmed up after long drives.
- No symptoms when driving along....just when coming to a stop, foot off gas.
I haven't started to double check for basic things (timing, hoses, etc.) but what are best guesses for a cause?
