Default My engine idle!

Hey check out my engine idle.

How exciting was that!
Its hard to detect the rough idle because its so slight. The camera sucks too.


Sounds funny too. It was in a garage and like I said the camera sucks!

I have a buddy of mine at work who is ordering it for me direct. I'm going to use it and see what happens. Its about a week away. In the meantime I tried cleanning (what I could reach) the TB plate with a soft toothbrush and cloth. Made no difference. I'll let you know how it is after using the 3M. Thanks for the heads up Hellbound13!
