Thanks Merkey,
I was being a little tounge-in-cheek when I asked which engine I had. It was just the frustration of doing all the research on how to troubleshoot and do a repair, and then finding something different when I opened the hood.
Having to turn the idle mixture screw CW instead of CCW like everybody says to lean the mixture was just the kicker.
Speaking of opening the hood, the only differences I see in our engines are your lack of an EGR valve, the stamped thermostat housing instead of my cast piece, and the hideous orange Phram oil filter trying to hide in the back.
