"PTC stands for positive temperature coefficient"

DOH! I knew that. I drew a blank on the abbreviation for some reason.

After 20-25 minutes of idling the choke plate was still only open a bit. I pulled the vacuum to the choke pull off, and the choke plate closed tightly and my engine died. So it seems my electric choke isn't working. Well, that gives me something to work on replacing.

I'm still able to drive around, but the engine lopes and misses during idle. The loping and missing may also be due to bad wires or plugs. I'm going to change those soon, just in case.

I swear I'm not posting that over and over again. Weird.

Sorry about that, everyone.
