Smile It's the little things to look out for....

Truck has been a bugger to keep idling while engine is cold, these days....

Got under the hood this morning, and I finally looked around for more than a second...turns out the idle solenoid wasn't plugged in properly!!! Oddly though, I notice this NOW! hasn't been touched since I bought the truck - the solenoid that is!

Look at the little things before diggin deep.

BTW - idles like a dream now!

That sounds like computers, they work right along then all of a sudden they stop.

From the expansion and contraction they can unplug the internal units.....

That may not have been attached very good and finally fell loose.

Good to know and put in the brain file.....

Take care of the little things and the big things will take care of themselves.

Or as my buddy said, "Don't sweat the petty stuff, pet the sweaty stuff."
