Interesting....thanks for the tip.

I noticed that my ground point is corroded (a little) on the engine block and my idle gets erratic when I turn on the rear window defroster - I've been planning on cleaning up that ground point when I replace the vacuum hoses under the manifold (soon). But, I'm going to try your suggestion just for kicks - it certainly couldn't hurt.
