<DIV></DIV>&gt;My '87 westy is having an odd problem where it runs pretty rich (
<DIV></DIV>&gt;stinky w/some smoke ) only AFTER warming up. I've checked the Temp
<DIV></DIV>&gt;II
<DIV></DIV>&gt;sensor and it seems to have correct resistances ( I can only guess
<DIV></DIV>&gt;at it's temperature), the OXY sensors is giving about 0.6 volts once
<DIV></DIV>&gt;warmed up. AFM seems to move properly ( I didn't get it's
<DIV></DIV>&gt;resistance
<DIV></DIV>&gt;as I moved it ....). Throttle switch is works. I recently had
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Idle Stabilizer box replaced. Does anyone have any ideas about other
<DIV></DIV>&gt;things to check or what might be the problem?
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
