I know that this seems to be in FAQ, but I don't see exact fit. After waiting 3+ years to experience the cleaning out of the oil seperator/trap, you can imagine the joy of the oil (and dipstick) staying in the crankcase. This site helped me overcome doubts of cleaning it out as a fix. The joy was the car running proper--good vacuum allowed me to breath inside the car. The clogged PCV system had oil dripping onto exhaust; sometimes when stopped people would helpfully tell me the car was smoking...

The problem now seems to have developed almost right after fixing of PCV system. Once, I removed the hose from the flametrap to intake tube/hose and found it coated in thin brittle layer of carbon like matter--cleaned/chipped out & reconnected. I figured maybe some vapors were condensing and clogging intake.

To get to the point, it has the surge or "hunt" idle condition. After reading the FAQ (TB) I cleaned the intake via spraying a can or so of cleaner..

I noticed that there a smallish puddle of what looked like gelatmous gasaline in the intake hose.

--the car started & restarted wonderfully after cleaning throttle body. Then on test drive it died. This was because I didn't keep throttled/idled up @standstill stop.

Recently I have been able to determine the car won't REstart if the engine temp is above C. Constant problem that seems to be worsening. I am apprehensive to to more spray because I don't want wait on a gasket in the mail and I'm cheap and use the $.68 walmart carb cleaning and not the $4.68 TB cleaner...




Also, If i start it and it catches but I don't catch it catching, i.e. give a little gas it make me wait. This is intermitant
