    Would it be possible to attach the better set of instructions to the thread? I'm midway through this goatfest of a job but didn't receive any instructions with my new regulator.

    I used Excel to plot those values on a graph and it looked like a logarithmic drop in resistance as a function of increasing temperature. It would be interesting to put both Hervey's and DMC's...

    I've been to several garages looking for ideas to do this but nobody knows.

    I guess the idea is to pressurise the intake via the airflow sensor and watch for leaks everywhere and anywhere.

    If you have fixed a vacuum leak then the engine is probably running somewhat richer than it was before. So leaning the mixture via the 3mm adjustment screw would probably sort your hunting.

    Great post!

    I've had both metal plungers out of mine (auto) and it was no drama. My boot looked the same as yours too. I was just going to replace both switches until I saw how much they cost.
