today i started the engine, it revved normal: started at 900 RPMs, down to 700 RPMS and settled at 600... i did not have a chance to wait for a period of time to see if the idle will spike, as it did before, as i had to start driving... it drove off fine, without the little stutters as it used to be for last few weeks...

as a matter of fact, today i was able to take off the traffic light as a 4.8iS should, which i have not been able to do for a long while... i have not tried the highway merge, as the I-95 is having major traffic jams today (Saturday!!!), so I did not venture out...

the blue smoke did not appear today, but i only waited at the traffic light for a limited period of time... it seems that replacing the CCV and using oil that a nad heavier have improved the smoking a little bit...

Is there a write-up on those seals somewhere?
