You need a feeler gauge (.10 and .20), barring tool, allen keys and some standard and metric wrenches/sockets. Also an extra set of hand definitely helps.

I don't remember honestly. I have been getting up at 5 this week for work and I usually don't have to be up till 7:30 so I'm a little out of it. It's done high idle before but it sounded different this morning so I'd bet it did the three cylinder thing. scared me for a second when it sounded different.

3 cylinder high idle sounds so bad ***! I think it has to be 10*F for it to kick in?
