Re: Hunting Idle, stalling

The timing is now 6* BTC.

I set it to 6* after I got home from work. It was on 4*.(???)
I waited to see if things were any better the way it was. Drivability is definatly better. It still stalled when 1st backed down the driveway. There's one place I can usually expect it to die in traffic on my way to work, and it did.
When I get off the highway and turn into traffic (whether or not I hafta stop for the light) I then accelerate, and shift. If the next light turns and I hafta stop, it dies.

Another note, after setting the timing tonight, I revved it and held steady at 1600. With a steady foot on the pedal, the engine speed alternated from 1600-1700RPM every several seconds. I also tried holding a steady pedal at 2200 RPM and it not only did the same thing from 2200-2300+, but I could feel the pedal seemingly "fall out" from under my foot, then come back as the engine speed fluctuated.
Could there be something goofy causing the EGR valve to cycle, letting in too much "air"?
