Alan, I read a thread on 22B were Bob rawle recommends PFR7's be changed at around 10,000 miles, they are then past there best in his opinion

Stronger spring in the dumpvalve ?
Carb cleaner in the IAC valve.
Air leak ?
MAF ?
Check the spark plug gap, i'm sure people recommend closing the gap slightly I think @ .5-.6mm ??
