No problem

You might want to grab that adjustment guide for yourself. Lots of good information to make your car happy

Done!
I was not aware of it before your post. I have already printed them both and will be reading them after I fix my Phase 2 problem with V.34 fax.

Quick secondary check. Put a paper clip on the rod against the base of the secondary diaphram housing. Go drive it and get on it so the secondaries should open. Come back home and look. is the paperclip lower on the rod? If so they are working. If not they are not.

+1 on the paperclip trick. The reason I like that one, is you can then shut the engine off and pull the air cleaner, open the primaries so you can open the secondaries by hand. And move the secondaries so that the clip you put on is butted up against the bottom of the housing again, and that way you can see how far the secondaries open as well.
