Haven't tried exactly this, but generally, the throttle response has felt normal at all times, regardless of where the idle screw is. So,...
Actually, to be more precise, I'd say the first full turn, counterclockwise, has some effect, maybe an extra 100 or so RPM. Then, did as much as 3...
Still haven't gotten to the bottom of it. I've disconnected/reconnected the coldstart injector while its idling and there was zero impact. I...
Thanks for the input everyone. I'm going to try the gentle push of the plate next to see if it reacts by running better or not. Will also look...
I had read in other place about using can of starter fluid spray. Might give it a try. Cool. I did notice that hose disappearing and was...
I visually checked it and I don't see anything like a split. The part at the front that looks cut is just impression from the clamp. Might still...
Luckily, the ticking sound has yet to return again, so still left with the low idle. I've done some more looking and maybe ruled some things out....
Thanks for the info and detail here. I'll try to go through more of these checks piece by piece. Seems like the screw adjustment might be a last...
No, I never noticed any significant loss of power. I was driving pretty hard intermittently and the first indication of an issue was when I was...
Seems easy enough to check so i'll do this next. I see in the service records that one of the check valves was rusting and replaced 17 years ago....

Ok, so made some progress today and narrowing things down some. Oil was actually low, below the min line so added a quart of 5W40 synthetic to get...
I pulled and inspected the extenders and didn't see anything that looked like arcing so far. I looked at the 4 rear back and 1 one of the front...
Thanks, @Iain and @moysiuan. This is great stuff, will be checking the plugs/extenders for black marks next and then these other items that all...
Thanks, everyone. Stethoscope is ordered and arriving on Saturday.
Thanks, I'll try looking for arcing. Getting it dark will be interesting as I'm in a large apartment building garage that is always lit. Will try...
My 328 that I got about a year ago is having its first real issue. Last weekend during some spirited driving around Bear Mountain north of NYC, I...
Took mine for a drive around Queens and picked up some local brews. Exercised the A/C for first time this season and happy that it blew cold. But,...
Took mine for a drive around Manhattan yesterday. Nice empty streets. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I did the same with mine today. Took her up around Bear Mountain on 7 Lakes Drive and had to remove the top it was so nice out. [ATTACH]
