Thanks for the advice. Could I possibly have a little rust in the exhaust valve guide causing sticky valve? (repaeated caution in the service manual) the problem increased when I took it out of storage and yes the car went through a number of short start stops in the cold when it was first delivered to me. How would I free this up? Low compression. not zero. I gotta find a better gage. You can hear a small exhaust periodic pop just less of a non- perfect idle. Will continue to post as I go through this.
