She stopped coughing on me...

Got my coughing problem figured out. at an idle in gear with a/c on she kept coughing and acting like she was gonna die. I adjusted the idle up. apparently the idle screw has worn. it felt like there was a groove worn into it. as soon as I bumped the screw the idle jumped like mad. now i am idling around 850-900 and that is as low as I can get without falling back into that groove. thanks to all who posted suggestions.

Got my MPG problems figured out, thanks to all who posted suggestions. The overflow valve on the pump was weak. we took it apart and strtched the spring. was only getting about 10psi of fuel, now it's up around 40. Also did valve job. while I was up there. not sure which did the most good but I got my MPG back so i dont care.

and i didnt have to spend any money

I am pretty happy with that
