The mixture needed looking > over too, of course. I'm confused. How does the idle stop screw (yes?) adjustment matter, on a car that running down the road? It's not idling then; that screw doesn't enter into it. The '86 I'm driving these days is running hot and has a high idle, but I can't see any relation. I can back it down though, but I think the heat problem is that the fan bearings are making rattly noises and I need a different fan (or to wire the other one in). >> Also, I'd add: >> 5.
