Let us know the test results.

I believe idle duty cycle before adjustment was averaging around 37%. I was by myself so not sure what was at 2500 rpm. There really isn't enough room under my little shade tree for too many more mechanics!!! I was just hoping for some kind of improvement that I could see and feel.

A VERY rough indicator also was my MPG guage. Not the best troubleshooting tool, but a very interesting outcome. Driving home on the freeway yesterday. I noticed that at steady state (or as close as I could maintain) 65 mph, my MPG gauge now reads around 20. Before new rotor caps and duty cycle adjustment, I would see more like 15 -17 at best. I will fill up again on Friday. I am expecting a 3-4 mpg improvement in fuel consuption, if not more.

I will let you know the results when I go to test.
