Tony,

I checked for leaks before I did the pressure test, using a propane torch (not lit, ha ha). I didn't find anything. Also the idle drops off quite a bit when you remove the oil filler cap, so I don't think air leaks are the problem.

I can do the test with gauge hooked up for the first few minutes of warmup. What am I looking for there? I'll see if I can get an exhaust analyzer on it too.

Thank you for the offer of the loaner WUR. The one on my car is an -045. It's a Euro model and a lot of the parts are older or just different (no vac advance on the distributor for instance). Also it has SSI's, backdated heating, NO oxygen sensor. All pretty simple...

Thanks! D
