Ok, excuse my dumb, but where are these valves (mine has AC/PS.)? What do
they look like? Do I have a blind spot or is there no mention of them in the
Bentley?

Another thing I was thinking was that I have the timing too advanced, and
when the idle stabiliser tries to compensate for load, it pushes it past the
limit the engine can run at. Or the idle stabiliser itself is shot.
