OK you guys. Next time you post something like this at least do me the favor of knocking on some wood. Vera has always wandered a bit at idle, but after this post she wandered a bit more. I had a new air filter on my shelf so I looked at my notes and thought, yeah, 10 thousand miles ago back in June '04 I last replaced it. I installed the new one last Monday and the idle wandering seems to have narrowed back to a normal wander...Go figure.
My old filter didn't look dirty until I held it up to the sunlight vis-a-vis the new one. A big difference in light penetration existed.
PS: Something else I did that I never paid attention to in the past. The metal cage overlap on the oem filter was placed towards the rear of the air box. Thought this might give the intake rubber snorkels a better air flow. Yes, I'm going to go to the Uni filter eventually...
