Message	Someone did the recirc valve mod to this car where they capped the tubes going back into the intake and let them purge into the atmosphere like a BOV. Big time mistake. Idle's stable now and 80 miles so far on a little over 1/4 tank, compared to 120 on 3/4 tank. Wow. Thanks for all the suggestions guys. -Chris
