Thanks for the information. I have found a local wrench after years of trial and error. This wrench DIDN'T set me up for all the non important "tests" and a $800 bill just to adjust the valves like the previous famous ATL wrench. The previous adjuster even said those 2 valves were tight when they made adjustments. It also had problems when the car warmed up by having no idle. At the time, they retimed it to make it run. Today I dropped the car off to my newly found wrench in ATL. They are part of the Porsche club of N.Georgia. Ive heard nothing but good things so far.

I've made my mind made up to have the engine rebuilt. That little voice in the back of my mind keeps telling me to rebuild. The car has unknown mileage. Its best to replace all worn parts, grin and bear the bill and ride on with the top off.

Before I made my mind to rebuild, I pulled the plugs on all cylinders and all were caked in carbon. I didnt have a compression guage but the car's idle wasn't there when warm. The starter is pretty tired by now!

I hope this rebuild will take care of this problem. If it does, I'm going to attempt to adjust the valves. I've gotten to know everything about the car except for the engine. Thanks again for all the information. I seems that idle problems aren't always related to sensors, hoses and such going out. Thanks again.
