Dennis. Not sure if you were totally serious or being somewhat "tongue
in cheek". LOL. Maybe while "in there", replace the 2.1 throttle
switch with some 1.9 throttle switches? And yes, I'm joking around
about that. LOL.

For me, disabling the idle control system was a bit of an experiment
as well as something that helped trouble shoot things. In hindsight, I
still wonder if the slightly lumpy idle was due to mechanical issues
in the engine. Anyhow......
