Subject:Loping Idle problem solved

Group,
The solution was simple.  The vacuum line was off of the AC solenoid, and the large hose from the auxiliary air regulator was out of the rubber housing.  I guess the engine must have backfired and blown them out.  That's all I can figure.  The engine idles great now.

My next project is to replace the ignition switch which doesn't seem to make good contact at times, and causes a hot starting problem after stopping.  Ordered a new one today from Ken.  After that, I'm going to replace the rubber fuel hoses.  Hope I don't have a fire before I can do this.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions.  They are filed for future use.

The van may be up for sale in a couple of months.  I hate to part with it, but I'm stretched too far these days to keep it maintained properly.
