Mike;
        The idle HC looks a little high to me. If you have poor power off
the line and it idles rough then I would look at the thre adjustments
outlined in the Bentley for the throttle body. Especially the idle
position sensor adjustment. The TEMPII sensor is always suspect too.

Good Luck and Drive Safely
