Plus if you spend $400 or something like that trying to fix the problem then you get a waiver....keep those reciepts!!!! (IIRC)

Cant time the engine and get the idle below 1000rpm, without bad cold operation (stalling)I had to remove all that engine stuff, to do it(head gaskets still fine). Dont think it is a vaccum leak. I got a clamp on EVERY possiable connection.The stock in "hose clame international" went up when I bought them all.

I understand that this throttle has a slightly smaller throat than the late 85(to 91) throttle. I can see this difference by looking at them side by side. If you got to know, I did this because I was burning out switches too often. The early throttle has easily accessabvle switches that are a dime a dozen.If you got to know, I was burning out switches because , when I reinstalled the engine stuff, from the head gasket replacement episode, I mixed up the throttle switch and air regulator connectors. The throttle switch was getting about 13 V instead of 1.5, v or something like that.
