I have changed the timing chain out and now it gets much better mileage. I can go almost twice as far that before so I am happy. Althought around the time the chain was changed out, a wierd idle issue started. When its warm outside, the engine will stop choking and rumbling and then stalling at a long red light. I have to keep my foot on the gas to keep it running. I just cleaned out the top part of the intake that had a thick layer of dry black dirt. It may have helped slightly but I doubt it.

What could cause that problem? Should I maybe take the intake off and clean the inside of it because it may be clogged up just that badly? I also pulled all the plugs and took a picture. They seem to all be very very white except for 1 thats rather dark. Could you guys help me solve this idle issue before it drives me insane?

Thanks a bunch, and a happy new year to everyone!!

Peter
