OK Don, Try unplugging the 'puter at the two pin connector on back of the IP; if the stumbling goes away, I suspect that your wiring harness is degraded or some input to the 'puter is bad or the 'puter is bad.
Idle will drop to around 550 RPM; you can manually adjust back up to where you like it and just leave it unplugged.

It's like it fails to fire once every second or two. It looks like the delivery valve seals are leaking some, but Diesel is not pouring off the top of the IP. It also blows white smoke when it starts - till warm - and smells like fresh Diesel - so I'm suspecting faulty glowing for this. It clatta, clatta's a bit louder than I think it should as well. There are only 197,000 miles on it - should be almost like new. The #14 head seems fine - no pressure in the radiator hoses, etc. -- OK Don, KD5NRO Norman, OK "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics." -Benjamin Disraeli and/or Mark Twain '90 300D (Rattled), '92 300D (Saber), ' '81 240D (Gramps), '97 Ply Grand Voyager (Vincent van-go) ------------------------------ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
