The van was idling high, and drinking lots of fuel. The van belongs to my boss. I solely use it. I constantly nagged and he told me to get the mechanic out and connect to OBD11. Turns out the advance solenoid isn't working, so the engine doesn't know its warmed up! The mechanic manually lowered the RPM. A couple of you mentioned RPM, and reminded me of what he's done. Its hovering around 0deg Centigrade around these parts, so heater's on, lights, not so powerful radio. The boss wants to upgrade to an LPG in part exchange, guess I'm stuck for now? If its idling too low, battery won't charge properly?

Thanks Mike
