Hi Charles,

The MPS is not the culprit in my case. I have a known-good spare that I have swapped in to no effect. I suspect that my problem, aside from the fact that at the moment I'm unable to get the idle down to a reasonable level, is in the deteriorated wiring. In dry summer weather the car runs fine, but in winter, especially when it is not freezing but just cold and moist, the running becomes erratic, no matter how much I polish all the contacts and connectors and put anti-corrosive paste on them. And that won't do because this is my winter beater, or, at least, was till it became unreliable.

Bob S.
