Hehehehehe....it's Pflugerville...and "hiccup" is a slight bog at the bottom
end. On some it happens and on others it doesn't. It just takes a little
bit of time for the PCM to adjust properly.

On cleaning the IAS Plunger, since you'll have to remove it anyway, spray
some Carb Cleaner (or TB Cleaner) on the plunger and gently wipe the carbon
buildup away. Do NOT turn the plunger...just wipe it clean.

On the plug gap, factory is where they should be...unless you're running an
aftermarket coil and/or ignition system. Then, you can open them up by
.005" - .010".

Thanx, Bernd.

--snip--Reset the PCM after you install the TB. --snip--

Tony's instructions say to remove the negative battery terminal to reset the
PCM. I know that you guys have talked about draining the memory via the
ignition key. Are the results the same, either way, or is it a combination
of both?

--snip--(Don't forget to clean up your old
IAS plunger...unless you've got a new one for the new TB.)--snip--

Ok, I don't have a new IAS. Actually, I'm not sure where it is, but I'll
find it. I assume my FSM will help to identify it? The correct cleaning
procedure would be?

--snip--Drive it like you normally drove your truck but expect a few
"hiccups" from
the PCM while it learns the new part. 50 miles is the average for a initial
learn and about 200 miles for a long term.--snip--

Ok. Now tell me what the Floogerville definition of a "hiccup" is! LOL!
Also, is .040" the correct gap for the 3923s in this application or will
setting them at .045" like the 3924s help with the MPG?
Looks like Ma Nature will be nice to me (fingers crossed!!!), so I figure
I'll attack it this afternoon, after my girls get done with their African
Handball Game.

Again, my thanx, Exalted One!
