Happy Snow Day=2C=20<br>
<br>
So I had a quick question about my Westy=2C it sometimes stalls during idle=<br>
...this has not happened in awhile.=20<br>
I recently had it is the shop (there was a problem with my Hall Sending Uni=<br>
t in the Distributor). Got all that fixed it starts now and seems to run we=<br>
ll. But since I have gotten it back I have noticed that it is a little hicu=<br>
ppy (is that a term/) upon start up. I have a new engine that I installed l=<br>
ast January and this has not been an issue since then. But it will stumble/=<br>
hiccup till it gets warmed up. If I put the van in reverse out of a parking=<br>
 spot and when I go to shift to drive=2C it cuts out. To describe the actio=<br>
n -- I put the van in to reverse=2C I back up=2C as i shift into drive the =<br>
van seems to rev and then drop down and then cut.=20<br>
Could there be an adjustment that needs to be made in the idle control?=20<br>
Thanks=2C<br>
