I was working on my '88 Limited yesterday (flushing the mud coloured fluid out of the rad & putting in nice clean coolant) - I decided to check on the air filter. On one end it was fairly clean but at the other (closest to the firewall) it was slightly crispy & had gasoline on the filter itself.

What would be causing this? EGR valve?

Ideas anyone?

Wet, or just smelled like gas?

UK PONY

Damp - that part of the filter also looked & felt a bit crispy (a bit like partially burnt paper).

How dos it run? Back fires or pops, hard starting?

UK PONY

I've never heard it backfire or pop. She starts ok, first time, every time.

It does smell like she's running rich though. Only other thing that may be related is an occasional uneven idle (TPS/IAC?).

I tried claening my IAC first,ended up just replaceing it though.Start with that.

Thanks Mike, I really do appreciate your help - I'll try & get to this at the weekend.
