Why I thought it could ice that is forming was that I noticed moisture over the accelerator, just the same way as cold metal collects water from the air. When the car started to act wierd and having these problem, they vanished when I stopped over the road side and let the car idle for a while.. kind a like heated it up again. I think the weather has been round about +3 - +10celsius and very moist when these accelerator problems have occured. I did replaced the vacuum lines, althought they seemed to be ok. But I think reconnecting this device the other way did something to the engine, because now when the engine has it's normal temperature, idling is beautifull.. runs better than before. It's pain to write these messages because I dont know all the technical words in english. Earlier on I also had problem with generator or loosing power.. reason turned out to be leak in the windows washers nozzles just under the hood. Just before these water nozzles there are somekind of "valves" and as old and damaged they sprayed the water right in to the generator.. I took these old valves away and reconnected the waterpipes directly in to the nozzled.. H. Mastokangas
