If yours is making noise, I would think it has broken, and could be the cause of your come and go problem.
Should be a $2 junkyard part, so worth replacing as a process of elimination.
I hate chasing problems that show up and stop randomly.
Thanks Sixpack, I am going to order one up. It could do it, based on the RAVE. It should put the RPM's to 1200 if faulty, but it also says that a bad CPS should throw a code which we know it does not

I'm learning a lot reading about the Engine Management System

I am a bit embarrassed, but it may have been a dirty air filter. It looked pretty clean, but I tapped and quite a bit of fine powder came out. I put in the K&N Air Filter I have that is clean. Short test drive it was idling much better in D.

It is only a year old, but an orange fine powder, and lot of it came out of it I tapped it.

We'll see.

Test Drive complete. I also cleaned my battery terminals and posts after pm'ing with Best. Voltage seemed improved. It is idling much more evenly now, and smoothly. We'll see if it is a long term fix.

I started it to move to a spot on the street, and at a minimum the charging system is much improved. It fired up much more easily.

Yeah it’s amazing how sensitive newer vehicles are to clean battery terminals/grounds.

I have experienced that myself -- Cleaning all the grounds made a huge difference!

You had to do head gaskets on your Turner motor?

Mine was a short block. Big mistake, shop messed up the head gaskets did a half way job.

So you made the right choice with your long block!!

That's astonishijg and a great fix.

I had a similar problem a decade or so ago and just forgot. Now I remember. It was the ground connections. And when I wire brushed both the connectors and the spots where they attached, I had a stronger starter and everything started behaving. It cost me a battery and a rebuilt starter (throw parts at it, I always say. Haha), but it was just a little corrosion.

Glad you fixed it, Collie. You're one of the dependables I look to when I have an issue; you can't have a gimpy rover.
