Thanks, you guys! I may actually get that fixed today, even though
it's 26 degrees and snowing outside.
"Coincident with. . ." was supposed to mean that it happens at the
same time the rpm drops; I was trying to save my typing fingers, but
it didn't work so good. But, yeah, I do feel a drop in engine power.
If the car's idling at the time, it nearly stalls.
Thanks again, y'all!
