Hi Dan,
Initially, yes - it idled fine until it got warm and then wouldn't idle at all. Even hot it would run fine at higher RPMs and driving the car felt normal until returning to idle. As the problem progressed, it wouldn't idle even when cold. So, the mystery to me is how it ran well at speed but not at idle. Regardless, glad to have it running well again.
Kevin
