Ok, I sucked it up and went to work on it. I moved the idle screw around and it didnt change anything. I didnt know what solenoid you were refering to so I didnt remove anything. I couldn't get the idle down so I put it back together and drove it round town. Some more kinks to mention that might help: from a stop putting the petal to the floor in first it accelerates fine but shifting to 2nd it will sputter and buck like a bull, sometimes even just cutting the gas. Also at stops it has started to idle like its missing every other fire. then it will make a deep gargling sound and idle will shoot back to 2 or 3 grand.... I'm thinking 2 things.... Could it be that the second throttle plate, the bigger one, is sticking and also that i might have to suck it up and pay someone.. And thanks again for all the help thus far.
