LOOK AROUND FOR VACUUM LEAKS, AROUND THE PCV SYSTEM, THRoTTLE BODY, ANY VACUUM HOSE/FIttING, ESPECALLY LARGE ONES, USE CARB CLEANER AROUND THE TB, TO CHECK FOR A LEAK AT THE BASE. CExcuse caps, don't want to retype!)

And then start suspecting bad intake gaskets.

alto, balances???? Try and clarify what you mean, there are no valve/rocker adjustments on the 3.1, though.

1. Don't ask a different question in another thread. Start a new one.
2. Don't make three posts in a row, especially within 4 minutes of each other. Give people time to reply.
3. Spell checker is your friend.
