Update - problem fixed!!

All,

Replaced the cht sensor as it turns out that mine was the one-wire style. Those grommets go in (greased with silicone) much easier than they came out.

Replaced DME relay, as well. The date of manufacture was October of 1985. Yeah, I think it was time for a new one.

The aforementioned problem is gone. I thank you all again for your recommendations.

I must confess that I got busy/lazy, and have not changed the fuel filter. I think this may be significant, as my fuel pump is noticeably louder over the last two weeks. Guess what I'm doing this weekend... Yes, and T/S-ing the blower, too.

ChrisBennet, I also found and patched one big vacuum leak. I trust it will hold until I get a chance to look for any others and order parts. You were spot-on about the idle control valve...

Chris
