I tried to find a vacuum leak with propane but no success,
no audible hiss either, would the throttle pos. throw an alarm?
I checked the plugs and they look ok, at night I can see no
arcs in the ignition. don`t know how to test the coil in the cap
except to replace. Normally I would suspect a #32 egr problem
as this has some of the earmarks but again no code or svc eng
light. Well maybe try to put a cap and coil on tomorrow. any other ideas
appreciated!
TIA Dave G.

I would look ar removal of the throttle body for a complete cleaning.
Do not try to do it on the car. Just for grins, I would also replace
the throttle position sensor and set it properly with a digital
voltmeter. Neither if these tasks are very complicated.
