Search has been going down latley. The boards are going slow and it's brains' way of "hittin the spray"

When you're grinding down the stop. Make sure you grind evenly across the surface where the throttle body cam hits. I'd suggest grounding your volt meter to the - battery terminal as well

i checked mine and it read .5 at idle and 4.30 resting against the stop. i did notice the idle went from .49 to point .54 depending on where i had it grounded. i thought idle was supposed to be .85?
