Re: [Spits] Weird engine idle

[mark.jones@exxonmobil.com]

Found the problem.  Two years ago I had the HS4s rebuilt, including teflon
bushings on the throttle valve.  While looking over the car Friday I found
one of the teflon bushing has completely out place, one big air leak.
Looks like I need to get the throttle bushing rebuilt again, but this time
in brass, not teflon.
