    wd-40 doesnt help a ton in that situation. youll end up using the whole can.

    youre almost best off using starting fluid.

    Okay guys, I'm pretty sure this problem is fixed!!

    When I let the engine warm up all the way, she runs beautifully. It's like a new car. No idling problems or anything anymore.

    I'm very excited. Thank you all for your help! You've done a wonderful job.

    next you can take on changing spark plugs and a trans pan drop and filter change :-)

    That is next on my list of things to learn!! I'll need to first learn how to figure out how to tell when they need to be done. I'm pretty sure the guy I bought it from said it was recently tuned-up, so I might have a little while. We'll see!
