Hi Folks,

Most of you probably know how to solve this type of situation. The other day my 240 began to idle terribly and would stall at traffic lights and stop signs unless I put my foot on the gas and on the brake at the same time. I figured the throttle body was gunked up so I took it a part and thoroughly cleaned it. It wasn't too dirty. Put it all back together and still had the bad idle and stalling. Did a little more investigation and found a split vacuum hose. Was able to install a substitute vacuum hose and the thing idles steady and runs perfectly. Just wanted to share my experience in case it might help others.

Thanks,

I can't belive the Dolphins are 6-4. I sure hope they stomp on the Patriots again this weekend. Chad Pennington aint' doing too bad.
