By tightening the AFM spring, aren't you forcing the injection to
miscalculate the intake airflow, yielding a "lean" state? I love simple
solutions, but this one doesn't sound like such a swift idea. Anyone?

Let me tell ya,

After almost a year of putting up with hesitation, rough running, and
the like I finally took off the AFM cover and wound up the spring, and
presto-chango, I have smoth running again. It's like magic.

If you are experiencing any of the above syptoms, please, take off that
cover and tighten-up that spring.

I don't remember who advised the list a while back to tighten-up, but if
your ever in Orlando, Florida I'll buy ya a beer, probably two.

Thanks
