Silverbullet,
Thanks for the info. I had posted my problem under this thread and when I didn't get a response I re-posted it as a separate thread about "rough/surging idle". Benzmac gave me some instructions regarding what to look for.
rough idle/surging So far I've not had time to check the car out, so I do what you do.. just let it warm up before driving. I will replace the fuel filter soon like you stated and maybe that will help also. Again, thanks for the response.
