Status: offline 		I'm sorry if this is a really dumb question, but my 4-tec engine quits if I am not constantly giving it a tiny bit of throttle. I may be wrong, but i doubt it is supposed to do this. Anyone know what may be wrong? I got this used and am really new and really want to learn a lot.

Thanks,

Brent
