Well, I put the TH plug back in this morning, and reset the computer at the same time (unhooked the negative battery cable while I was doing the TH fix, then hooked it back up when I was done...that should be long enough).
So far, so good. At a stop, the RPMs drop to about 1100, sit there for a second, then gradually fall to 750.
I hope "the fix" lasts this time: Shifting gears is much smoother this way!
