Takes very, very little to keep the engine running. You need to be able 
to close it completely.

I have a small crack somewhere in the intake plenum when engine gets hot 
and it won't idle below 2,200 RPM.
(I'll have to take off the intake manifold and plenum to fix it)

My push-pull doesn’t have enough total throw to allow it to go any lower without having it not fully open.  I would imagine I might need it to close down a bit and simply accept any “pumping loss”, due to it not being “wide open”?  Thx for your feedback!
