No it has not been pleasant enough to be outside fooling with cars.
Maybe when it warms up a bit. Though the mamabenz seems to still be
balky even after the new glow stick, I gotta check that out again. I
should probably just change them all out.

Rich, did you figure out how to measure RPM via the diagnostic socket
yet?

Subject: [MBZ] idle speed
This winter my idle speed after a cold start seems to be a little too
low. The whole car shakes at idle on a cold morning. With just a
slight throttle, maybe an additional 50 RPM or so, everything is normal.
I did replace my motor mounts last fall, could this have altered the
idle speed at all, i.e. if the motor is now sitting a little higher on
the new mounts could the accelerator linkage need some adjustment?
Once the engine has warmed up, the shaking at idle is much reduced.
