These should be closed at idle, but mine were open. 1-1/2 turns CCW on each and life was MUCH better. These are vacuum "leaks", but I could not; /html/6pack/2004-05/msg00025.html (9,673 bytes)

There are a couple of points that have been offered to you that is open for debate. Meanwhile, you should have v; /html/6pack/2004-05/msg00030.html (8,827 bytes)

I can't test in place because of where my vacuum supply is. I'm checking with a vacuum pump, and it appears to leak.
