D Davis,
Was your diagnostic DVD a special deal, or is that how much Bill normally sells it for? I'm kind of wary about checking the static timing. I really doubt that is the problem. My problem was intermittent and turned constant. I would think that the belt would only jump forward on the gears, not forward then back. BUT, I still really want to check out those OBD readings.
rogerm60,
Thanks for the vacuum info. My idle is so incredibly rough that I doubt I will get any meaningful readings. I guess that its still worth a shot tho.
Argh...maybe I will feel more optimistic on Sunday.
Later,
BP
